Popular Post Marian Schedenig 8,206 Posted April 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2023 This is nice to have, certainly, but the description sounds a bit odd to me. Of course all the "piano version" of the piece you're going to find on YouTube are solo piano arrangements. You won't find many recordings of just the piano parts of any orchestral work (that doesn't have a dedicated solo piano part), just as you won't find many of just the violin, or harp, or 2nd flute (even if it's already back from dinner) parts. And while I don't have any professional insight in this matter, I don't think there's anything particularly unusual about this piano part. If anything, I was surprised that there's actually a section where the piano does play the full melody. Having transcribed all the parts for the full piece, as noted in the description, the most useful output would be a MIDI file. That way anyone could listen to it and chose which parts to focus on.

Remco 685 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 It‘d be fine if it was, you know, about the piano in the orchestra. But the whole story around it is what makes it quite bizarre. Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JW often treats the piano as essentially an adjunct to the woodwind section, doubling its parts, which seems to be a common technique in Rachmaninoff, as well as classic Hollywood scores by Korngold, Rózsa, etc. MrJosh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GerateWohl 4,370 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I remember being confused when at last the complete The Empire Strikes Back recording came out in 1997 with the special edition and suddenly all over the place there was a piano audible playing all over the score that I hadn't heard in all the previous editions. To me it sounded like the whole piano accompaniment had been inserted afterwards. I liked the previous Mix with the less audible piano much better.

The Hal Leonard keyboard part is condensed from the two keyboard parts of the 1977 original: sometimes both piano, and sometimes piano and celeste.
