Summary of This Book
This piano sheet music collection (intermediate level) brings together a selection of iconic pieces from film music and contemporary worlds, with a clear connecting thread: immediately evocative themes centered on the piano that highlight tone, touch consistency, and expression. You will find notably "Una Mattina," "Dietro Casa," and "Dolce Droga" by Ludovico Einaudi; the minimalist atmospheres of Philip Glass (with "Opening Piece" / Glassworks and "I'm Going To Make A Cake" / The Hours); as well as the unforgettable themes of Michael Nyman ("The Heart Asks Pleasure First" / The Piano, "All Imperfect Things" / The Piano, "Candlefire" / The Diary Of Anne Frank). The program also opens to other colors with Joby Talbot ("Cumulonimbus"), Zbigniew Preisner ("Olivier's Theme / Finale"), Patrick Hawes ("Towards The Light"), John Harle ("Silencium" / Silent Witness), and Richard Blackford ("Song For A Raggy Boy").
The variety of writing styles allows for practicing essential piano skills: leading the melodic line over arpeggiated accompaniments, precision of repetitive motifs, voice balance, progressive dynamics, and legato quality. It is an excellent choice for pianists wishing to enrich their repertoire with expressive, accessible, and highly rewarding pieces to play, whether at home, in auditions, or simply for the pleasure of rediscovering film themes at the keyboard.
