Pink Floyd - Us and them - Richard Wright's piano solo transcription/tutorial/play-along

The iconic album The Dark Side of the Moon (and Pink Floyd as a whole) has been part of my life since childhood. As a mature student learning piano, after being a professional guitarist for most of my life, I recently decided to investigate and transcribe some of Richard Wright's parts. I took one of the four channels from the Quadraphonic version of the album, where the piano is more prominent. Much to my surprise, after Rick's first chorus of the solo, I found out his solo continues kind of hidden underneath the sax solo and the other layers of instruments, and it's a real gem. As usual, Rick displays a great sense of economy and coherence, playing arpeggios and beautifully outlining the harmony, with great rhythmic ideas.
After the solo at regular speed I've included a slower version, so you can learn the solo and play along if you'd like.
This is a humble tribute to the tenth anniversary of Rick's passing, on September 15th.
