With this sheet music, you can play "Rocket Man" by Elton John 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.

Thanks to Elton John's impressive piano skills, "Rocket Man" is certainly a challenging piece to play - but it will sound amazing when you master it!

"Rocket Man (I Think It's Going to Be a Long, Long Time)" first appeared on Elton John's 1972 album "Honky Ch�teau", and served as the album's first single.

Inspired by Ray Bradbury's story "The Rocket Man" and David Bowie's "Space Oddity", the song became one of Elton John's biggest hits! It was certified Platinum 3 times in the United States, and is also included on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest songs of all time.

Elton John's 1972 super hit makes for an amazing piano performance!

Originally for piano and orchestra and notably used in the film "Brief Encounter" I have carefully arranged the beautiful romantic themes of this piece for solo piano. I have combined the orchestral textures with the piano solo to bring them together as a cohesive piece. There is no stretches greater than an octave, and the part is heavily reduced from the original-but the piece still falls into advanced intermediate as I have kept the passion (just less notes!) Each section could easily be used as a separate piece.
The full score is 11 pages and it is nearly10 minutes long- for full suitability on level of difficulty, the youtube link provide the full score- I wanted to give opportunities for pianists to play an easier version of this fabulous piece. I made the recording live on a digital piano, with technology to enhance.
Great for valentine's day, weddings, anniversaries, romantic events, it's a firm favourite with lots of people as the themes are so memorable- just fantastic to play.
