Dave Grusin - On Golden Pond - Transcription for solo piano


Dave Grusin has long been a major influence on me, so I've made a transcription of one of his most popular tunes, the main theme from the movie "On Golden Pond" for solo piano. This specific transcription is based on the version in "Now Playing: Movie Themes" album.

[Update 05/17/2012] I've updated the transcription slightly, you can download again if you have the previous version.
[Update 11/10/2016] I've updated the link. Now the files is in DropBox and there shouldn't be download problems anymore.

If you like my transcription, you can donate me for some beer :D



Here's the original music as played by the great Dave Grusin [update: YouTube video not available anymore]

And here's how I play the transcription (forgive me for some slight imprecisions):

    Nix my comments.
    I printed out your script and realized it 'was' the entire tune.
    My bad.
    Nice job, bro.
    Grusin is a hero of mine as well.

    Very nice arrangement. I haven't been able to find one this good. I sent you some money for beer using my wife's Paypal account.

    It only downloads two pages of the score

      Well, the entire score is just two pages, all the notes are there.

    Your sensitive arrangement maintained the elegant simplicity of Grusin's theme without oversimplifying it or adding extraneous frills. Just what I had been looking for after being dissatisfied with my own arrangement. Thank you so much.

    P.S. ...also sent you personal email.
