With this sheet music, you can play "La Foule" by Édith Piaf on piano!

It's an accurate, carefully created piano arrangement of the full song.

The entire melody is included in the piano part, so it makes for a perfect instrumental / piano solo cover.

Originally, "La Foule" was an Argentine song titled "Que nadie sepa mi sufrir" ("Let no one know my suffering"). It was composed by tango legend Ángel Cabral, with lyrics
by Enrique Dizeo.
The original Spanish version of the song has been recorded by many artists, including Alberto Castillo, Julio Iglesias and María Dolores Pradera.

Édith Piaf recorded a French version of the song in 1957, with new lyrics by Michel Rivgauche. Under its new title "La Foule", it became one of her most famous chansons!

La combinaison des rythmes du tango espagnol et de la douceur des chansons françaises fait de "La Foule" un classique intemporel.

C'est aussi une pièce magnifique à jouer au piano!

An arrangement of the timeless classic song that combines the rich harmonic palette of the jazz idiom with some keyboard techniques of the 19th century romantic composers. Performance duration is about 3 minutes 45 seconds, and a performance can be viewed at youtube.com/c/rupertaustin/videos.

A six bar introduction hints at the bridge of the song before the first two verses are presented; the first with chordal writing and the second introducing some left hand arpeggios. The first appearance of the bridge stays close to the original. This is followed by two more verses where the right hand takes flight with figurations that at first outline the famous melody, before the roulades of notes lose sight of the melody and instead weave around the harmonic changes. At bar 48 the bridge reappears with the melody incorporated into a right hand figuration inspired by passages from a Chopin etude (Op. 25, No. 11). However, the much slower tempo makes this section far more approachable than Chopin's fearsome etude. At bar 56 an earlier version of the verse is repeated, which then leads to the close.

A flexible tempo should be used, with generous rubato in appropriate places. In particular, bar 41 should not sound rushed and tempo can be held back significantly here. Fingering suggestions are given in many places, but these will not suit all hands. The closest attention to fingering is required in bars 48-49 and 52-54. The dynamic markings should be viewed as a rough guide and the performer is encouraged to find their own interpretation.

For piano solo with chords. Suitable for any romantic occassions (e.g. wedding ceremony) Key: D major Duration: 3'13 Level: Grade 4 or above.

This collection of intermediate piano solos includes 20 arrangements of favorite classical pieces frequently used for weddings. All the songs in this collection are well-suited for processionals and recessionals of the ceremony participants (bride, groom, bridesmaids, groomsmen, parents/family, flower girl, Bible boy, ring bearer, etc.). Several of these songs can also be used as part of the prelude, as interludes during candle-lighting, or as background music for a reception.

These arrangements were created to make challenging classical music more accessible for the intermediate player or easier to sight-read by more advanced players (comes in handy when asked to perform on short notice). Another feature of these arrangements is they are consistent at the intermediate to advanced-intermediate skill level throughout each piece. Many have been simplified and only include excerpts from the longer original movements. Other simplified characteristics include easier key signatures, timings, and fingerings and some melodies were modified to create a more contemporary sound.

Each of the 20 arrangements is also available separately with accompanying preview pages and audio samples.

Best Collection for Adult Piano Students: 30 of the most important and beloved classical piano pieces

Why this collection?

These are the editions I created and use for myself and my adult piano students. They are not "arrangements" or simplifications in any way. They are better described as "clarifications" with clean page layouts and comprehensive fingering.

These editions enable students to encounter the composers "face to face" by stripping away antiquated publishing conventions. Traditional editions, especially the economical older ones, prevent students from being able to prepare and perform the beloved music, rather than enabling and supporting successful performance.

Traditional piano music publications suffer from two fatal flaws: (1) the economic need to "save paper" resulting in page layouts that are too dense, and which compound the problem by obfuscating the natural 2 and 4 bar structures of music, and (2) the absence of technical solutions (fingering).

The exception in this collection is the arrangement of the Pachelbel Canon in D, because it was not originally composed for keyboard.
