Theme music from "The Apartment", by Charles Williams. This was one of my mom's favorites; she bought me the sheet music while I was still in high school...
Thanks for sharing this with us so I could verify that the diegetic piano being played in the Rickshaw Chinese cocktail bar was actually the theme song to the movie! 😁
Hi Tom, and many thanks for sharing this wonderful song from an earlier era when music was beautiful. Very soon I will begin learning it on my Yamaha digital piano. Thanks again for posting such beautiful music . . . it has class! By the way, Charles Williams also composed "The Dream Of Olwen" which was used in a 1947 British movie, "While I Live".
Excellent. I am in awe of the chord changes of the composer. This music was perfect for the movie - even though it was written for another movie! I remember hearing this piece as a kid. I thought Ferrate and Teischer were amazing. Your version is wonderful with its variations.
I have this sheet music, just followed along: 32 bars (after the intro) in Fmaj followed by an interlude in Abmaj (roughly 24 bars) then back to the theme in Fmaj. Originally published as "Jealous Lover"...,it's quite a tour de force. Thanks
Thanx! I dropped a coupla notes here and there, and if I had a million years I'd love to go through and keep re-recording all of these piano songs until I get them all "just right", but it is what it is... Good luck with the sheet music! I only made minimal changes (I put a "walking down" note before each of the two dramatic major ninth chords about two-thirds of the way through)
Thanks! There are a couple glitches, that I wish I could go in and correct, but I would have to re-upload, and lose all of the comments on this version...
Superb! One of my favorite movies and soundtracks. I can picture Shirley MacLaine walking into the Chinese restaurant.
Nicely done. The Apartnent really is a drama, as the music suggests.
Remind me of every scenes of the picture, and thanks a lot...
My dad learned this completely by ear. He had super musical talent. Ebb tide was another favorite he played by ear. Great memory thanks. ❤
I am in envy of you Tom. I wish I learnt how to play the piano.

Excelente interpretação de Tom Cortese para uma das mais lindas melodias compostas até hoje.
que comentário equivocado
Great. Lovely rendition.
Very nicely done! One of my favorites... now I want to learn this ...
This song should have been what they call a jazz standard

I just noticed the one. This is just as good as Dream of Olwen. I love the old scores.
