This is Michael Nyman's "The Promise" or "The Heart Asks Pleasure First." I've been requested to do a slow-motion version of this song. Since I can't really play the entire song slow motion, I've decided to put up only the right-hand portion. I hope this helps.

  • are there 3 verisons?

  • yep

    the promise,

    the sacrifice

    the heart asks pleasure first.

    they all have slightly different arrangements

  • plese note that the title is THE HEART ASKS PLEASURE FIRST, the pronise is another song...

    rgrds

  • i'm sorry, but "the promise" and "the heart asks pleasure first" are the exact same song

    the only difference is that "the promise" includes strings in the background while "the heart asks pleasure first" is solely piano

  • I thank you for putting this up, but could you possibly do a better one with the light on and a slightly higher angle? I cant realy see the notes your playing and you go a little too fast..

  • Thanks for sharing! :). It seems like the melody is in the right hand, so the left hand could easily be improvised..

see all
