Richard Grayson is a composer and pianist who is known for improvising classical music. In a concert in 2009 he received a request from the audience to do Darth Vader’s theme in the style of Beethoven.
Impressive.

Ha! This is amazing—a modern P.D.Q. Bach, perhaps?

The outrageous irony of this almost made me spit my coffee out my nose. Williams is a shameless thief of the works of other classical composers that to ask that any of his scores be played like ( insert most any great composer’s name ) must strain to leap over the tongue embedded in one’s cheek. In Star Wars he has managed to steal from Holst ( The Planets; especially ‘Mars’)Erich Korngold ( Kings Row ) and innumerable refrains from Tchaikovsky.I have nothing against Mr Grayson who is quite talented but any sop to Williams just makes me want to hurl.
