You Are Sixteen Going on Seventeen (piano solo), arranged by Matthew Zisi

You Are Sixteen Going on Seventeen
words by Oscar Hammerstein II
music by Richard Rodgers
arranged and performed by Matthew Zisi

There are a lot of great tunes from The Sound of Music, which may be the greatest musical of all time. For me, though, this one's always been my favorite. I really enjoy the tune a lot.

In arranging this, there are a couple different approaches I could've taken. I could've taken the main theme and done variations on it, or I could try to set to piano the basic summary of what the orchestra and singers do in the original. I tried the latter, and the version you will hear is hopefully about as close as the piano can get to what you hear in the actual movie. Hope you like this one as much as I do. Enjoy!
