The piano | 
When this movie came out in 1993, I was so struck with the painfully sad story that I hunted down the novelization when it was released a few months later. To this day, I still play Mark Nyman's musical score. #lyricalapril #bittersweetsymphony
ValerieAndBooks Loved the movie. Came across the book recently, had not known there was a novelization until I saw it. It's still in my TBR! 8y
CrowCAH Haven't heard of Mark Nyman; what other movies/shows has he composed? I adore John Williams and Hans Zimmer! (edited) 8y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @CrowCAH I just looked in Wikipedia. He's a composer who did a movie score - it looks like The Piano is his only movie. 8y

CrowCAH @BarbaraTheBibliophage ok, cool, I could have done a Google search lol; thanks. Though he could have done more that I didn't know about. 8y
Betty_Bookworm I loved that movie too and the soundtrack as well. In college I used to joke that I wanted to write novelizations of films that were based on novels. Haha. They actually exist. 😜 8y
Suet624 Oh my gosh. That movie. Slayed me. I haven't been able to watch it again. The composer does have some other music. He came to our town a number of years ago with an orchestra and it was amazing. I still listen to this soundtrack. 8y
Cinfhen Excellent choice 😍saw the movie, buckets of tears😭 😭 😭 8y
KarenUK I love that movie so much, and the gorgeous score! I have the sheet music... which I attempt to play (poorly) so often... 💕 8y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Betty_Bookworm Now there's a great idea! 👏🏻👏🏻 @Suet624 It slayed me too. So intense. I'd love to hear Nyman's other music! @KarenUK Oh wow - at least you attempt to play it! 😀 8y
Suet624 I just looked and the other album I have by him is from 1994. However, I see he has clips on YouTube, he is still composing and going on tour. 8y
