The Piano

Not the easiest to play for intermediate player, but so interesting, and enjoyed by others. Some of my favorite music to play.

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.

I love this music so much. Very easy to play and beautiful!

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.

Absolutely must have... For the title song to learn and add to your repertoire!

One of my favorite piano books ever. I lost my original copy in a move and had to repurchase it. Great for intermediate players, with some fairly easy and some more challenging songs.

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!

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.

hard to make head or tail of these pieces. One would need to be of an extremely high standard to play any of them and very proficient with scales

Wonderful to own the score of this obsessive piece.

Excellent - but It's only a selection of the pieces and not got all the ones I would have liked, (Has got the main Theme- "The Heart Asks Pleasure First") - and some titles are different to on the CD. So just check it has what you want!

The actual score, not simplified--which is what I wanted!

I was worried as another review said the theme tune wasn't included but it is and am looking forward to trying to play it!
