The Piano is a 1993 film about a mute female pianist and her daughter, set during the mid-19th century in a rainy, muddy frontier New Zealand backwater. The film was written and directed by Jane Campion, and stars Holly Hunter, Harvey Keitel, Sam Neill and Anna Paquin. It features a score for the piano by Michael Nyman which became a bestselling soundtrack album.

@Synergy157 You're confusing the dot's on a page as representation of music and what music actually is. If anybody wanted to hear the exact reproduction of the a manuscript you could put it into a computer and that would be job done - but who does that? Nobody. Because we all want to hear what isn't on the page i.e. what the musician brings to it. That is why you cannot say "it's wrong', you can only say "I don't like it". LRAM btw. Not the highest but enough to know you're an ignorant note-snob

@MusicStudyMan i read the first sentence then realized how you lack knowledge in music so plz dont bother me again !

[MusicStudyMan]

@Synergy157 and you're a twat for saying such a stupid thing. Music is not fixed, you play it as you want to play it, right and wrong do not come into it from a performer's point of view. 2) If anyone was going to play it 'right' it would be the person that wrote it? 3) Any copy you have is edited for mass market and any tempo guideline is for reasons of accessibility of the piece. 4) The film original is faster than this in places. Who are you to say the film version is wrong also?
