I personally played these notes 10 years ago, but honestly I was never satisfied with this version, especially when suddenly about 3:11 up to 4:06. I starts to do just technical exercises :- ) just using mainly the scale of G minor, with some slight changes in voicing, but without respecting the musical line of the song.... although I was and I'm aware of the "mistakes" consciously. At the time I decided to upload this video in every case, because apart from the... if I can call this "wrong", there are also other things not "wrong" (kind of harmony) which could also please some pianists of a high music level. However, today this video has been seen by nearly a million people, of course this is a chance of luck. Anyway, I've learned that no one is perfect, we all make mistakes, I've seen great famous musicians making mistake, but this does not mean anything, the important thing is that when we are "wrong" we have and we need to be aware of the stump, just so we can start to be better. And I think that normally a well-prepared musician understands this without my explanation. :-)

More informations.
Autumn Leaves" is a much-recorded popular song. Originally a 1945 French song "Les feuilles mortes" (literally "Dead Leaves") with music by Joseph Kosma and lyrics by poet Jacques Prévert, English lyrics were written in 1947 by the American songwriter Johnny Mercer. It has become a pop standard and a jazz standard in both languages, and as an instrumental. "Les feuilles mortes" was introduced by Yves Montand in 1946 for the film Les Portes de la Nuit.

About the composer:
Kosma was born József Kozma in Budapest, where his parents taught stenography and typing. He had a brother, Akos. A maternal relative was the photographer László Moholy-Nagy, and another relative was the conductor Georg Solti. He started to play the piano at age 5, and later took piano lessons. At the age of 11, he wrote his first opera, Christmas in the Trenches. After completing his education at the Gymnasium Franz-Josef, he attended the Academy of Music in Budapest, where he studied with Leo Weiner. He also studied with Béla Bartók at the Liszt Academy. He earned diplomas in composition and conducting. He won a grant to study in Berlin in 1928. There, he met Lilli Apel, another musician, whom he later married. Kosma also met and studied with Hanns Eisler in Berlin. He also became acquainted with Bertolt Brecht and Helene Weigel.
