Piano book

Arranged by Joe Hisaishi himself. (Orchestra → solo piano)

When I did some research I couldn't find much information about the product.

They do sound like the actual songs you hear throughout the movie.

Many people said that the pieces are either intermediate/advanced and I agree. I'd say
around henle level 4/5/6.

You do need some dedication if your'e an intermediate player, you would be studying the
pieces for a couple of weeks to months.

I sightread 3 pieces and now I have a headache.

It's not beginner friendly, you really need some experience to play them well. There are also
no finger markings.

There are streches reaching a 10th. There are also many octaves and big chords. Would only
buy when you have atleast played for like 3-5 years and have had lessons from a classical
piano teacher.

Would totally recommend to upper intermediate and advanced players who love the Ghibli
soundtracks!

(PS. the last slide gives some info about Joe Hisaishi!)

About the quality of the product:

It's really good, it's paperback, excellent binding, thick, smooth and shiny pages. I did have
to press each page so it could actually stand open on my piano but that was not a big
problem. The transcriptions are clearly written and not too small.

High quality product! Worth the price ($25)

You can buy it from Amazon! And no, sadly there isnt any music from Grave of the
fireflies. I've listed the content in a previous comment.
