Hey guys, I have always had the ear for music, and piano in general, I've been able to sound out songs pretty easily, but only recently learned how to read music. I have recently been able to play Away in a Manger, it was kind of hard (wasnt just a single note one) with the bass line and all. The main things I want to play are Mozart's Lacrymosa, O Happy Day, Mad World by Gary Jules, and Moonlight Sonata, can I have a sample of any of these songs, to see if I could wing it? I dont want to buy them if I cannot play them, I know I wont be able to play Moonlight Sonatas 2nd or 3rd movements, but thats ok.

Thanks guys, and if this is in the wrong place, tell me where I should post it.

Welcome John!
You can accually get the full score for free at http://www.sheetmusicarchive.net/ Its free, 100% legal, and most of the people here use it. If you think its your level go out and buy it. I like to think of sheet music archive as a sample. If you like it go buy it.

By the way, the 4th topic is called Link to Piano World Practice team. There is a raging battle going on between the dudes (us) and the chicks (EVIL!!!!). Sign yourself up and get practicing. We really need your minutes

Welcome and Enjoy

Hehe, thanks for the warm welcome! And the link, much appreciated.

Welcome to the forum, John!

You won't find "Mad World" on sheet music archive, because it's still under copyright. However, you can get it for about 4 bucks from most of the sheet music websites, and most of them will let you see the first page.

I have "Mad World," actually, and the biggest problem with it is that I couldn't find a piano solo version so had to buy an arrangement for Voice/Guitar/Piano. This wasn't a problem for the verses, but what it had for the chorus didn't really work well as a piano solo and I had to improvise a bit. If you're not up to improvising, I'd hold off on it for a while.

But it is a lovely piece, and still my husband's most-requested song for me to play, so I have soft spot in my heart for it.
