Optimistic
Tim Allhoff's solo piano version of Radiohead's iconic song "Optimistic" is part of his upcoming album, which explores the music found throughout the works of Japanese author Haruki Murakami. Allhoff's arrangement for piano is flawless — translating the song’s rich harmonies, delicate voice leading, and unique energy into a deeply expressive solo piece, once again showcasing his brilliance as both pianist and arranger.
