Composed by Kenny Ascher and Paul Williams. Arranged by Martyn Clive Johnson (aka Martycli Piano Guy). This edition: pdf, streaming. Broadway, Comedy, Country, Film/TV, Musical/Show, Pop. Score. 6 pages. Martyn Johnson #1109959. Published by Martyn Johnson (A0.1536924).This is a song I first heard on the Muppet Show with Debbie Harry duetting with Kermit (on banjo). I found it a beautiful song and it has taken me decades to finally do an arrangement but I hope it was worth the wait. It's in 3/4 Waltz time but I give it a slight country feel with hammer on/off techniques and it should be swung a little in that the quavers (1/8th notes) should/could be played as a tied triplet.
It's a beautiful tune and goes through the bright key of A major and culminates in Bb major.
I don't provide fingering, dynamics or pedaling symbols as I prefer to trust this kind of interpretation to the individual pianist. I like to present the notes as simply as I can. I do, however, include chord symbols which I feel are often the most important piece of information for the pianist trying to learn and/or memorise a piece.
Also note this is a piano solo and doesn't contain notation for the other instruments features in my YouTube video. I always write my arrangements as a piano solo first so it will sound perfectly full as such.
I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed arranging and recording it.
