Hello everyone,

Here's my arrangement of the legendary anime song - "A Cruel Angel's Thesis" from Neon Genesis Evangelion!

This time I tried to take a more creative route and wrote a piano arrangement that is different to the original song's structure. I also borrowed a lot of ideas from Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerti Nos. 2 and 3. In the end, the arrangement is more expressive and personal.
