Overview

Film Music at the Piano is an index to film and television music that has been arranged for solo piano. It covers music from 655 film scores - from Captain Blood (1935) to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) - published in 240 anthologies and collections of music from 1940 to 2002. Printed versions of instrumental film scores can be quite difficult to find, and in many cases the arrangements cited are the only available printed manifestations of their respective scores. Virtually every major film composer is represented, including Max Steiner, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Bernard Hermann, Jerry Goldsmith, and John Williams.
