Don't they play this beautifully together? I just love it... every falling leaf! "Autumn Leaves" was also played by another famous pianist... I'm not 100% sure, but I think it was Roger Williams. It's just such a lovely piece of music. Thanks for sharing it with us.

@SkyMar463 Both Ferrante and Teicher have passed away but I read recently they were friends to the end... they would meet for lunch, etc. as long as their health permitted.

Thank you for your nice comment. The other pianist was Roger Williams. It was a lovely piece of music and we were fortunate to have such gifted musicians to make 'music history' for us. :)

Wonderful song... is this music from a film?

[Maureen712]

@Pedy1968 I'm happy you enjoyed it...as far as I know, this song is not from a film.

@Maureen712 Wrong, the song is from the movie titled, oddly enough, "Autumn Leaves," starring Joan Crawford and Cliff Robertson. It's about an older woman who falls in love with a younger man who has some mental problems caused by his father played by Lorne Greene. I'm pretty sure it came out in the late fifties or early sixties.

@logancody05 Thank you for that information, logancody!

[MyFlare123]

autumn leaves was originally called dead leaves, in french (les feuilles mortes)! johnny mercer wrote the english lyrics

[WesleyGarnesII]

I could die right now listening to this masterpiece and I would be happy about it... Truly Wonderful music. Im only 15 and am so sad that my generation missed out on beauty like this.

[majukhgurbaxani]

This one of my favorite versions of versions of Autumn Leaves . I have heard it since 1957.

[Gamerboi21]

I grew up listening to them; my grandma adored them (second only to a piano soloist). "Exodus" and "Midnight Cowboy" are my favorites. I heard this piece by many artists on LPs and on the radio.

So glad to find this site. I fell in love with this duo when I started teaching. I just retired from 50 years of teaching piano/organ and still performing. Much of my improv inspiration came from Ferrante & Teicher. I have played everything from national horse shows to the NYC Rockettes - they just kick a little higher. (: ALBERTI

s is the best ever

@joeylikeslots Very sorry to hear that your Dad died at such a young age. Thank you for sharing your memories (even though they are very sad). It is often hard to understand why things happen as they do. The most we can do at such sad times is to support each other...let each other know we share the sorrow. I wish your mother would have known you were with her those nights that she sat, crying in the rocking chair. You could have comforted each other, sharing memories of your Dad.

@jazzbuff630 radios do, just not many. i heard of these guys thru listening to itunes radio stations. im sure satellite radios can find these too.

[logancody05]

@Maureen712 Glad to be of service, and you are very welcomed, beautiful lady.

[pianomanmaestro]

@jazzbuff630 I agree with you on that one! All of the radio stations are being bought out by these hip hop people and all they ever play any more is crappy music of todays world! Where I live there is only one Classic Radio Station that plays Glenn Miller and Ferrante & Teicher and all the good ones thats it!

[gva0917]

A beautiful classic.  The imagery you have incorporated is stunning. Thank you for the post.

[56stargazer]

Beautiful. Love the way you did this Frank

[carann5]

Lovely pictures Maureen! Autumn is my favorite time of the year and the weather has been so gorgeous here in PA. Nice song too. I have the version by Roger Miller.
