I doubt anyone ever watched that scene and thought "boy this would sound way better on a piano", but for some reason I thought it might translate well and be fun to play. The video is secondary but was a lot of fun to produce and I thought since it's really soundtrack music it really needs some interesting visuals. https://youtu.be/rzcdkr_HkHI If anyone is interested, I don't have sheets but I could share a midi recording of the arrangement.

Anyway I bet Randy Newman wrote it at the piano! (Beautiful Schimmel by the way!) Estonia 168 (she sings!), Kawaii Es-110 for late-night practice.

Three of his uncles wrote music for the pictures. Here is an interview with him where he describes the process of composing for film. I believe he writes everything at the piano. I believe he mentions The Natural. Last edited by LarryK; 05/11/19 11:20 PM.
