Piano arrangement: Moderately difficult with some delighfull dischords
Jimmy Webb wrote All I Know, with the velvet voice of Art Garfunkel recording it in 1973. This arrangement has a very different introduction to the usual rendition of 4 bars of chorus. The intro is quintessentially American - unmistakable - especially through the last four chords before the ballad starts (bars 16-19). The melody is faithfully rendered to what we heard Garfunkel sing and if you liked his recording you will enjoy playing this arrangement. Its a lovely piece. However, the ending (as many/most do,) suffers from the inability to translate the strings and fade-out of a commercial recording studio. As written, the ending is disappointing. Try appending a repeat of the introduction after the final words of: Its-really-all-I-know... This ties the piece together and for the listener, gives a better conclusion.

All I Know
Not too difficult for a seasoned singer but a little out of my range.
