Chinatown (composed by Jerry Goldsmith)

[Yasminmonlol]

Can you pleaaase post the piano sheets online? :D

[ChrisNelthorpe]

Indeed, a great legacy, and that's the best way to look at it.

[ChrisNelthorpe]

Cool. Fantastic piece, well arranged and played. I miss Jerry!

[Gae41]

@ChrisNelthorpe

Yes, it was a sad day for music when Jerry Goldsmith died. But what a legacy he left us!

vividwatch47...no, its a Technics KN2000 keyboard.

[vividwatch47]

Is that a Yamaha electronic keyboard on top of the piano (Goldsmith did a print ad for Yamaha that ran in the U.K. for many years)?

[henkiis]

Wow well done. Ive been searching for more music like this (like chinatown theme from jerry).. great stuff, amazing. Any tips?

[fuxup21]

The Piano is absolute bliss.

[Gae41]

Thanks all. It's amazing to think that the maestro Goldsmith wrote the score to Chinatown in just a week or so.

Gae41

[fuxup21]

A week!! WOW, a true artist.

[chrisman737]

I miss Jerry Goldsmith. But we still have his music. Well done!

[revolver46]

WOW UR THE BEEEST

[revolver46]

GREAT lines 7 and 8 are the ones that make the song, for those of u with the book in question

[TheCreepingUnknown]

So beautiful. Great rendition!

[ftyfty123]

It is very beautiful.

It is my loved film music.

[hawkssens]

Great song by Jerry Goldsmith, great performance by you!

Thanks for the upload!

[fordroad]

The music from one of the greatest movies ever made was just great to listen to in 2008 as it was when I first saw the screening of ChinaTown in 1975.

[1Th1617]

That is SO beautiful!  Thank you!!

[twentymm]

Thanks so much. Your video has inspired me to get back into playing. I ordered the HL Great Film Scores and now I have to relearn the piano. It will take a while because it's been a very long while.

Very nice job on Chinatown btw.

[Gae41]

Wow...that is so nice to hear twentymm. Good Luck

I got the sheet music yesterday, excellent. Now comes the sight reading and finger positions and synchro...you know. But I'll tell you what, where I may learn the notes and what to play, you play music. And that's my real goal. Thanks again.

[Gae41]

Great twentymm.

Learning the notes is a process all musicians have to go through of course. The key, I guess, is knowing when the music is "ready" and qualifies as a performance, rather than just as "practice". That's the fun part. The final interpretation and performance of a learnt piece. There are no shortcuts though. You have to go through the first, laborious process, to get to the other.

Good Luck

Gae41

[twentymm]

Exactly. Step by step, elemental first, secondary, and so on. Where you are, is way above where I am. It's OK, and you have to have goals. Fun part, lol, you're right, and that's what I'm looking forward to, knowing the technical part enough that I can concentrate on the other.

Take care buddy and thanks again.

[fredlogo11]

simply superb

[superbliek]

Great piano playing of a truly wonderful piece. This could go straight to cd! Amazing.

[Gae41]

Thanks Superbliek. I record all my pieces digitally and then merge audio and video later. That way the quality is very good. Much better than just using the Video Camera microphone which is often of a poor quality live. For some reason, this video has gone out of sync since I posted it on Youtube. It was fine before.

[mariobaez]

I 2nd that.

[jjdt25]

Great job.

Amazing score.

[director2007]

I love this song and have the same book. You did a great job.
