[PianoGirl132001]

Thanks for all your comments. I don't check my comments on here very often, so I'm sorry if you write something and I don't reply for three months! (School can do that to you...)

[ScientificoPiano]

This is very lovely! This one of my most favorite piano pieces.

You played it wonderfully!

[maemay]

Beautiful, well done :)

[manooory]

your playing is so beautiful and id love to be able to play this song

pleaaase :)

[PianoGirl132001]

Hi,

Thank you :-)

I'm not quite sure what you mean by tutorial - could you please explain?

Thanks :-)

[PianoGirl132001]

P.S. I know what a tutorial is, I just don't know exactly what you mean in this case.

[Poodlepups]

thisnamestaken: there is another video on youtube (littlelotte1410) who plays it much slower than PianoGirl's up-to-speed version. Pianogirl, I'm not sure what she wants for a tutorial either, except an overhead shot of the keyboard would be nice.

(You can get this music on SheetMusicPlus. as PG said the information is in the infobox)

[PianoGirl132001]

Thank you to everyone who watches my videos. As far as finding this sheet music, I found it at my local music store, and do not know where you can find it in general. I have put all of the information I have about the piece in the info box on the right side of the page. My best guess would be to ask a music store to order it for you, or to search for the isbn number on the internet.

[ColinMeloy91]

For those of you whose Music Store doesnt carry this, you can ask them to order it for you! Takes two to three weeks but WELL worth it. :)

[PianoGirl132001]

Thank you for the positive comments. I also do not want this to be a place for negative remarks and name calling between people. I appreciate all respectful comments on my music. I realize everyone has opinions, and they are free to share them so long as it is in a respectful manner. I am well aware of many things that can be improved upon in my playing, and that is part of the learning process. Part of it, as cpak2000 stated, is sticking with it.

[bubblabu]

I try not to say anything bad about anyone else here, but I can't keep this in.

sfinx822 is an idiot. All one has to do is go see his youtube channel. Teens being spanked. Oh yeah - that's some critically acclaimed stuff there. What a freaking moron.

He's just a seagull critic. flies in, makes all sorts of noise. Craps all over the place and then flies off.

Pianogirl - you keep up the good work! Don't pay attention to what that clown says.

[ScientificoPiano]

Agh! I want this sheet music sooo bad!

I love this song!

That was very good too!

=)

[HsFDowney]

Where did u get this sheet music?

[slh1357072]

Good Job! Enjoyed your playing, keep up the good work. San Diego, Ca.

[ladypemberley27]

great job! I love this song, thanks for posting it! :D

[snaperdoodleyay]

This is excellent. I mean to learn it by ear and this is very good! I don't know what that

sfinx822 character is talking about. You surely have the ear for music.

Your fingering is very good throughout the entire piece and I can hear some dynamics. Amazing job on this one.

I think the pace is perfect in my opinion.

Excellent job once again! Keep it up!

[plumtree33]

This is my favourite piece ever, and you play it beautifully. Well done.

I noticed that you bought this music sheet off the internet. I understand that you cannot send it to me, due to legal conditions. But could you please email me the website from which you purchased it?

Much appreciated! Thanks.

[mrrogersfriend]

yes, it is a lovely song. but your dynamics could be more dramatic. the tempo is much slower than this, and the melody is very fluid.

i would slow down the fast parts you play.

[cahilfiger]

Hello, you still have this score? thanks!!!

[PianoGirl132001]

Yes, I still have the score. I cannot send it to anyone though. Why do you ask?

[cahilfiger]

you cannot? why not? I would like to get it!!!!! I love this song! Please

[PianoGirl132001]

Because I don't want to get into legal trouble with copyrights and everything. It's only about $5 and you can order it off the internet. I put the publishing information in the box by the video if you're interested in ordering it.

[cahilfiger]

well, I agree!!!! but i have problem... I live in Brazil..

I don't have to buy here!!! but thanks any way

[sfinx822]

Too lfast and loud. You need more "Sensibility" in your touch.

[cpak2000]

If you don't have anything nice to say, just move on. I like this song and this girl is a good piano player. Thank you, pianogirl, I really enjoyed it.

[sfinx822]

Obviously you have no ear for music my friend. And I don't see the meaness in my comment, it was more of a recommendation, in piano you either have the touch or you don't, that's what differentiates great pianists from lame ones. (obviously the touch can be improved...don't mean to hurt anyone's "sensitivity" LOL ).

[cpak2000]

Guess you're right. I was only classically trained in piano and violin. But I'm also a mom of 2 young kids who are trying to learn. I just think it's very nice for young girls who take interest and stick with it long enough to play well as this girl. Why don't you leave your mean comments else where and just stick to "kind" and constructive criticism. Have a nice day.

[t3nn1sfreak]

haha, u tell her!! i can so tell ur a mom!! haha

[lenaco09]

Beautiful music, well played!

I've long been wanting to learn it, but never gotten around to it. The version I have just found for sale on the internet doesn't seem to be the same as yours, and I think I like yours better. Do you think you somehow can help me find the right version for sale somewhere?

Thanks

[PianoGirl132001]

Hi,

The title and publisher information is in the box with the information about the piece. I unfortunately cannot send you the music, because I don't want to get into legal trouble, but if you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

[sykesco8]

I understand. Thank you for replying anyway. I think I have found a version which I can buy. Good luck with your playing.

[sykesco8]

Would you be kind enough to let me know what piece this is? If you can send the music, that would be great. If not , just the title wouldbe fine. Beautifully played.

[PianoGirl132001]

The information is all in the information box to the right of the video. It is "My Father's Favorite" from the movie "Sense and Sensibility", based on the Jane Austen novel.

[Walkemor]

It's such a wonderfull melody

[MICHINATOR1]

if only the song was longer.

[larabriz]

very good but maybe too fast... good job anyway!;)

[yourforte]

This sounds good.

[fsharpmajor]

tempo = largehto mm crotchet=60. Nicely played overall but just too fast.

[choco2XD]

very, very good ! :)

[LittleLotte1410]

Very nicely done, but meant to be much slower. But still very nicely done! :)

[johnnyk1080]

Where did you get this sheet music? There are several websites that I have looked at, but their sheet music of this song sounds very different than played here, which sounds like the movie...

[PianoGirl132001]

I just found mine at a music store around my house, but the person below said they found a copy from Hal Leonard of Milwaukee Wisconsin, so that may be a possibility.

[dowdy1948]

Great job! Everyone , Hal Leonard of

Milwaukee, Wisconsin has this sheet

music, that's where I found mine.

[DarkestSlinky]

I only just started learning this song - you play it beautifully.

[thewisestofthemall]

[PianoGirl132001]

[tomat0es]

i bought a book with this song in it and it was only 1 page...

[WinterFallDragon]

was it the Jane Austen's World? i have the same thing and the harder version =)

[brcmano]

I wish I had the sheet music of it!

I like your playing, with real emotion.

[PhantomCake]

I always imagine this as Bella's Lullaby in the Twilight series!

[TabithaTimmy]

goodness, this almost makes me cry! i'll continue to try holding it in, though...my sister makes fun of me enough for being such a basket case. anyway! this is SO beautiful and i would love to learn this song next.

thank you for sharing. you're great!

[PianoGirl132001]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it so much! :-)

[TabithaTimmy]

Okay, I give. I'm crying.

[PhantomCake]

[ColinMeloy91]

[vickytoriamartin]

[redrosestoo]

Very well done! That was beautifully played! I've always loved that piece of music from S & S but I never knew what it was called.

Best wishes! :)

[WinterFallDragon]

[emmyo91]

I love this song, so beautiful! And you play it so beautifully have you still got the sheet music? if so, could you send it? =)

[hian50]

[multitaskermum]

[PianoGirl132001]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it! :-)

[periwinkledaisy0]

[PianoGirl132001]

thanks :-)

[dheu]

Not to be redundant or anything, but this really was quite beautiful. Nice job! I really love this piece. Where did you find this version of the sheet music? I bought a book containing this piece, but the version I have is a simplified arrangement and I haven't been able to find another. :( Can I get the sheet music from you somehow?

[ctoller]

You play beautifully. Congratulations! I love see you play that song so beautiful. By the way, could you send me a copy of the letter that music for piano? Here in Brazil unable to come. Please... It's very important to me. Thank, thank you so much.

You're very good!

[PianoGirl132001]

Thanks :-)  Sure, I will.

[haylie1993]

wow that was so beautiful!

p.s

if you can play the music for 'weep you no more sad fountains' can you PLEASE, PLEASE put it on?

that would me great because i need just the music for the school talent show...

lots thanx..

[PianoGirl132001]

Hi - thank you :-)

Unfortunately, I don't have the music for that piece.. I'm sorry.

[mrvolvo10]

...a tribute to the joy of playing the piano!

[Mayka99]

Beautiful... :) You are awesome. Greetings for father:)

[brklynbaybi]

[mimimishishishi]

[forsak3ngirl]

Lovely!

[PianoGirl132001]

Thank you :-)

[christiana2969]

wonderful!It's a pity that I only have the front part's sheet music

[Woofycat]

I have the full sheet music if you would like a copy.. all so a music store in Raleigh, NC has it too,,call Burgage Music Store on Green St. Raleigh, NC they will ship it to you as well...enjoy! I have played this for years and never grow tired of it. Tim

[vick1946]

did you have the "partition ?????" pliz

:'( i m looking for it since 2 years now xD

[srwct]

most sheet music stores would stock some film music - I have one book that has the music to BBCs P&Prejudice + Sense &S in one (incl this song) plus the new P&P movie music (which is lovely to play albiet sli easier) and the Emma music. Most stores can order it in or check AMAZON...

[SymphonieFantastique]

Brilliant interpretation :-)

[visualride]

Sweet! I've been waiting for someone to post this one, because I wanted to hear if it was worth it to learn the middle segment. It seems to muddle about a bit, but I like the end half. Good job!

[misaodono04]

You are awesome!!!! My sister can play this on the piano too!!!!

[balletbabe13]

where did you get the music from?

[justastepaway]

Wow, You're really good.

[twentyonesomething]

I agree, sounds just like movie. That was awesome.

[CaherineLaGrande]

Reminds me the movie ! I like it ^^

[TayZonday]

I like it.

[PianoGirl132001]

I'm glad :-)
