Michael Nyman - The heart asks pleasure first

I came across this wonderful melody on this website

(when it says "easy" it does NOT mean beginners)

I'm adding his own comments (as that sums it up):
One of the masterworks from the film “The Piano” Michael Nyman’s piece draws together arpeggios and a simple melody to create a haunting, echoing theme that lasts for long after the piece is finished. While not a mainstream piece, this small gem is an astounding portrayal of emotion through music. The simple melody, interspersed with the accompaniment, is simply beautiful. I’ve chosen a rather different video than usual, because this shows the emotional side of the piece much more succinctly than a performance video.



sheets are available HERE (cheap but not free)

Very intriguing theme and movie.

That is a brilliant piece of music. I've been trying to play it - with limited success.

Effort is all you need to accomplish anything. We'd love to listen to what you've already accomplished, no pressure though.

You are right, nice piece! You can get the sheet (and some other music from the movie) from Amazon:

I've tried to play it, but too difficult at the moment for me.
