Liberace
on: October 27, 2015, 11:37:29 AM
Hello was wondering if anyone had sheet music for the Liberace show opening theme song it is based on chopins valse op.64 no.2...I know he printed copies of a simplified version back in the 50s but can't find anything. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

If Liberace produced copies of what he played, they would still be under US copyright.  The response to this post is the same as to your daily requests for Liberace music-- find the original (whether purchase as in the case yesterday due to copyright) or pull a free version from the internet if out of copyright and adapt.

...if you need the sheet music...you are probably not ready for Liberace.

Although he gets absolutely no respect from the classical community---and his chops were pretty sloppy from time to time.. those arrangements he played are pretty monstrous. 

I confess... I love Liberace.   :)   As a show-pianist and entertainer... he was second to none.
