I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to the celebrated pianist Nicolas Horvath for enthusiastically
bringing my Debussy works to public attention in their solo piano formats, both through his recent
recitals across France and through this Naxos Grand Piano release (GP822). In some cases these are
true piano pieces (like Toomai des éléphants), in others they are piano reductions of orchestral scores
(like Fêtes galantes), while in others they are piano solos in their own right that also exist in orchestral
versions (as in the incidental music for Le Roi Lear). Needless to say, most of these tracks are world
première recordings, and this is certainly true of A Night in the House of Usher and its companion piece Un Jour affreux avec Le Diable dans le beffroi (?A Dreadful Day with the Devil in the Belfry?) which I arranged specially for Nicolas in November 2018 as a virtuosic, almost Lisztian paraphrase-fantasy. To remind us of the plot as the dramatic scenes unfold, Un Jour affreux avec le Diable dans le beffroi, like the start of No-ja-li) has a narrator (spoken in French by Florient Azoulay on the Grand Piano recording):

[After an overture rising from the underworld, with a polka and a citation of a chldren?s folksong Savez vous plantez les choux?, a carillon rings out]: Hearing it, the Dutch villagers start to count, with the bells of the belfry / 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 8, 9, 11, and 12 / Perfect! / 13!?!/ The bell rang 13 times / 13! / The Devil is here where the clock should be! / Damn! / The bells are cracked. / The Devil laughs fit to burst / He pulls from the pocket of his coat, a small dancing master?s violin / ?My God!? says the devil ? and he tunes his violin slowly / The Devil leads the villagers in a fantastic and relentless jig [making jokes at the expense of concertos by Beethoven, Brahms and Tchaikovsky] / The Devil directs the villagers towards the canal ? where he jumps to the other side, laughing all the time / The villagers try to imitate him, but they fall into the water. / [In Part 2] the villagers are transported to a hedonistic and lively Italian village. They are similarly transformed: the men have crooked hats ? the women have wide open bodices! They dance a mad Tarantella / 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 13 / shouting ?Hey there! (Hola?) / Jean, the young hero, makes a fervent prayer to God against the Devil / The prayer is answered and the bell again rings normally! / The expression of the Devil changes: he shudders! / Everything goes black / The devil disappears in a brief red glow ? / And the carillon and the bells chime as usual / 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 / Perfect! / But the Devil?s grinning face ap-
pears once again where the clock should be ? briefly

With this sheet music, you can play the famous theme from "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" on piano!

It's an accurate, carefully created piano arrangement of Ennio Morricone's legendary composition.

The 1966 spaghetti Western "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" (Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo) is one of Sergio Leone's most famous films.
Starring Clint Eastwood ("the Good"), Lee Van Cleef ("the Bad") and Eli Wallach ("the Ugly"), the film is the final part of the "Dollars Trilogy" (also known as "Man with No Name Trilogy"), all of which were scored by Ennio Morricone.

The film's theme is the first track on the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, where it appears as "The Good, The Bad And The Ugly - Main Title".

The iconic two-note melody (which might remind you of the howling of a coyote) is a guiding motif of the film, and is played by different instruments for each of the three main characters.

Ennio Morricone's theme for "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" is considered one of the most iconic scores in film history, and is among the most recognizable pieces of music ever written.

Needless to say, it makes for a wonderful piano cover!

Here's how to play "Nature Boy" by Eden Ahbez (famously recorded by Nat King Cole) on piano!

With this piano sheet music, you can play the famous jazz ballad in a beautiful arrangement (intermediate difficulty).

Eden Ahbez, who was often seen in white robes and sandals (which, in combination with his long beard and hair, made him look a lot like Jesus), handed his composition to Nat "King" Cole's manager in 1947.

When Nat King Cole recorded the song in 1948, it became one of his biggest hits, topping the charts for eight weeks!

The song was later recorded by many famous artists (including Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan, Tony Bennett and Lagy Gaga).
It appeared in a number of films (such as "The Boy with Green Hair" and "The Talented Mr. Ripley") and became a central theme in the 2001 musical film "Moulin Rouge!".

It's certainly one of the most beautiful jazz ballads out there, and it makes for a wonderful, melancholic piano cover!

Here are the famous lyrics to "Nature Boy":

There was a boy
A very strange, enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far
Very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eyes
But very wise was he

And then, one day
One magic day, he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This, he said to me:
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"
