Description

(Music Sales America). Six original compositions for solo piano, by Michael Nyman, from the award winning film by Jane Campion. English composer Michael Nyman has developed into one of the most popular, if not important, composers of film music, and his film score for the 1992 film The Piano is without doubt the most famous and familiar of his compositions. The tone of Campion's film is perfectly emphasised by Nyman's style and though much here is beautiful and rich, it is a haunting and foreboding sound picture that reflects the greys of sea, sky and spirit. Contents: Big My Secret Deep Sleep Playing The Mood that Passes Through You The Attraction of the Pedalling Ankle The Heart Asks Pleasure First the Promise/the Sacrifice Silver-Fingered Fling Read more

    • Great intermediate level sheet music Great intermediate level sheet music
Format: Paperback
Review Image by Jenna M.
I purchased this to get the sheet music to “the heart seeks pleasure first” and that piece alone. I generally play by ear unless it’s classical but I could not get the intricacies of this piece down, this helped immensely. Glancing through the other pieces, I’d say that this whole book is great for an intermediate level pianist or student. If you’re advanced, you should be able to play these with little to no problem. For intermediate players it may require some work but it’s fantastic (especially The Heart Seeks Pleasure First) for learning to bring out the melody within using both hands and pinky - identifying it and bringing it out in an expressive way, apart from the rest, which can be difficult but is an important skill. The book is great altogether. ... show more

    • If you play piano, you should listen to the music from the movie, and if you like the music, you should buy the scores!
Format: Paperback
A beautiful score to let you play some beautiful music. My wife is a classical pianist who loves Michael Nyman's work. After seeing the movie "The Piano" (which I found sad, by the way), my wife wanted the score. This book contains Nyman's six original compositions for the film. My wife says that they are intermediate level in terms of difficulty. If you play piano, you should listen to the music from the movie, and if you like the music, you should buy the scores! The price is super-low ($9.88 is what we paid) and you simply can't go wrong. ... show more

    • Great print quality
Format: Paperback
Very nice and relatively easy pieces to learn for a late beginner, music theory required and supervision from a teacher (in my case!). I love the pieces from the movie, and the print is great for reading, and I highly recommend if you want to learn to play some of the popular pieces from the movie.

    • difficult but worth effort
Format: Paperback
I find Nyman's works to be very difficult for me but worth the hours of plunking. I grow excited when I can recognize what I am playing with the actual piece. These scores are not for the novice such as myself. But if you have patience, determination and time, it is worth the effort. Nyman is a genius and this music is brilliant. Highly recommend. ... show more

    • Exactly what I was looking for!
Format: Paperback
I wanted the sheet music for The Heart Asks Pleasure First for the longest time and I am more than pleased with purchasing the whole book. It is exactly the intermediate level I was looking for and despite being a seasoned pianist, I enjoy how fun, intricate and challenging Nyman's songs are. No regrets with this purchase at all! ... show more

    • Great music
Format: Paperback
What I like about this book is that it seems to be exactly the pieces played in the movie--not simplified versions. I would recommend this to an experienced player. I took lessons for over ten years and have been playing casually since, and some of the pieces are a challenge. They're beautiful, haunting pieces. ... show more
