Film Scores for Solo Piano

In the Audio Masters digital series…


Film Scores for Solo Piano is a wonderful collection of 32 pieces, drawn from the silver screen’s unique world of drama and intrigue. Many of the world's greatest composers have been commissioned to illustrate these imagined worlds, and within this collection sit works by Max Richter, Dustin O'Halloran and Philip Glass, alongside George Fenton's magnificently distinctive scores for Planet Earth and Frozen Planet, Samuel Barber’s ‘Adagio For Strings’ and Jeff Beal's inimitable theme for House of Cards. Each piece has been specially arranged for the solo pianist to recreate these climactic and inspirational scores within their own living room.


As part of the Audio Masters digital series, this book includes an in-built audio player with demonstration tracks for each song, some of which (Koyaanisqatsi and House of Cards) are world-first recordings for piano! Now you can hear how every piece should sound while you read the music and learn to play.


Whether you're a musician first and a film buff second, or vice versa, Film Scores for Solo Piano is undoubtedly an essential volume of music, featuring the dramatic, ambient, exciting and heartbreaking scores from a vast cinematic library.
