The Notebook - Main Theme - (piano solo)

Музыка

This lovely piano solo was written by Aaron Zigman, and is the main theme from the 2004 romantic drama The Notebook, which is considered by many to be one of the most romantic movies ever made. I've actually never seen it, but I had to learn this beautiful piece for my best friend's wedding. To me, the beauty of this piece is in its haunting simplicity and the way the melody evokes a time and place that is both bittersweet and nostalgic. I feel like I could have played it with slightly more rubato, and let the chords "linger" a little bit longer, as my old piano professor would say. Unfortunately, I tend to lose my focus on the music whenever the camera is rolling, so my expression suffers a bit.

    “I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough..”-Noah

    I saw this movie for the first time and it was very touching that it made me shed tears,kinda reminded me when the person I fell in love with and we talked for several years and never really got to meet him,then one day I stopped hearing from him for a whole year that it broke my heart and I felt we should have met,I felt depressed for few months and I had to move on with my life,til I me a new guy in my life and then my pen pal I talked for years suddenly calls me and explains to me why he hasn't talked to me in along time cause he was sick with the HIV,i would done anything for him if he would have been honest with me in the first place,I know its not the same as the Notebook but it was close to wear he didn't contact me and thats where this song drove me in tears.

    I think you did a great job, regardless of the camera! Here's my advice to my students who have red light syndrome. If you tense up when the camera is rolling and you want to learn to relax never turn it off. Record everything you play, even your practices. You don't have to save everything you record but by always playing with a camera rolling you'll get past your fear. Good luck!

I’d appreciate know the source of your version if you figure it out. Thanks. Dear Philip, Thank you for contacting us. The publishers owns the music. We supply the music the way it is made available by the publishers. Many pieces (especially Piano/Vocal and Piano/Vocal/Guitar scorings) are not actual note-for-note transcriptions of the recording. Publishers will intentionally simplify these arrangements, including changing the key, to make them more playable for most musicians. If you are not satisfied with this arrangement, we can give you a coupon for the amount of your purchase. We look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for using Musicnotes.com!
