Oh What a Beautiful Mornin'

Composer: Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein II
I play the first 7 bars to the metronome which sounds stark. This Oklahoma classic celebrated the joy & passion of a new country day. Rubato is definitely required so I'm hoping you can hear the emphasis change from bar 8. The final LH notes are a 10 finger spread which I can just make with my thumb and finger perched on the eddddge! I could of pulled the bottom note up an Octave but where's the challenge in that?
This was short but really nice to play. With half tone steps, a mix of one, two, and three note bars in the LH, notes with tension that finally resolve. I couldn't find any other version with variations for the many verses that are just a musical repeat. I am leaving this as is for now. I might return one day to work up different sounding improv verses.
