Then you should ask for more information from people who posted that
opinion. The movie credits don't list it as a "found" composition, so I
conclude it was written for the movie. I'd be delighted to learn
otherwise.
It's a wonderful song! I found a MIDI and used
PowerTracks Pro Audio to generate sheet music.
PHEW!!! This is one that I took a look at and
them promptly filed it under, "Maybe someday
far far in the misty future..." I pull it out
and give it a whirl every now and then. It's very
humbling. Who was the actual pianist? The
songs, "Danny's Blues," and, "Playing Love," are
wonderful as well. :)-Frank
Since I couldn't find a .wav or .mp3 sample of 'Playing Love'
(sorry, I detest midi) I was unsure which piece that was.
Is that the one he plays during the recording session as
he watches the girl? That is indeed beautiful.As to your generated sheet music of the waltz, I'd be
interested in seeing that because just picking out the
melody/chord progression it didn't seem to hard to me,
even after one would realize the waltz bass. I sometimes
wonder about those music generators. If they produce
results anything like my cheap notation software produces
a score from keyboard midi input, I suspect it looks
considerably more difficult than it really is.

That's the one! MIDI through a soundcard sucks, but
you can manipulate it with Cakewalk or Powertracks Pro
Audio, or play it through a MIDI compatible piano and
it sounds wonderful. It's like having a player piano.

You may be right. PowerTracks Pro Audio is only 30-40 bucks,
and if you want the MIDI, I'll send it to you, or better yet,
contact me off-list and I'll mail you a copy of the
PPA-generated sheet music.-Frank
The Legend of 1900 (Italian: La leggenda del pianista sull'oceano, "The Legend of the Pianist on the Ocean") is a 1998 Italian English-language drama film directed by Giuseppe Tornatore, and starring Tim Roth, Pruitt Taylor Vince and Mlanie Thierry. It was Tornatore's first English-language film.[4] The film is inspired by Novecento, a monologue by Alessandro Baricco. The film was nominated for a variety of awards worldwide, winning several for its soundtrack.
The story is told in the midst of the plot as a series of flashbacks. Musician Max Tooney enters a music shop and sells his old Conn trumpet. Clearly torn at parting from his prized possession, he asks to play it one last time. The shopkeeper agrees and, as he plays, the vendor recognizes the song as the same as recorded on a record matrix (master disc) he found. He asks who the piece is by and Max tells him the story of 1900.
A baby boy is found abandoned in the first class dining room of the four stacker ocean liner SS Virginian. Danny Boodman, a coal-man from the boiler room, names the boy Danny Boodman T. D. Lemon 1900, after himself, the fruit crate the boy was found in, and the year, and raises him as his own. A few years later Danny is killed in a workplace accident. When police officers come on the ship to take him to the orphanage, 1900 hides for several days and reappears playing a piano very well without having ever been taught.
1900 shows a particular gift for music and eventually grows up, joining the ship's orchestra. When Max is hired as a member of the orchestra in 1927, the two become close friends. 1900 never leaves the vessel, as the outside world is too "big" for his imagination at this point. He stays current with outside musical trends as passengers explain new music trends or styles.
His reputation as a pianist is so renowned that Jelly Roll Morton, of New Orleans jazz fame, comes aboard to challenge him to a piano duel. After hearing Morton's first tune, 1900 plays a piece so simple and well known ("Silent Night") that Morton feels mocked. As Morton becomes more determined to display his talent, he plays an impressive tune ("The Crave") that brings tears to 1900's eyes. He then plays from memory the entire tune that Morton had just played. His playing fails to impress the crowd until his original piece ("Enduring Movement"), of such virtuosity and superhuman speed that the metal piano strings become hot enough to light a cigarette, which he hands to Morton as a gesture of victory.
A record producer, hearing of 1900's prowess brings a recording apparatus aboard and cuts a demo record of a 1900 original composition. He creates the piece, inspired by a woman (The Girl) who has just boarded and mesmerizes him. When he hears the recording, 1900 takes the master disc, offended at the prospect of anyone hearing the music without him having performed it live. He then tries to give the master to The Girl who inspired it, but is unable to and breaks it into pieces.
The story flashes back to the mid-1940s periodically, as Max (who has left the ship's orchestra in 1933) is seen trying to find 1900 in the now-deserted hull of the vessel which is scheduled to be scuttled and sunk far offshore. Max returns to the ship with the recording 1900 made long ago and plays it, hoping to lure him out. Max and 1900 finally meet again and 1900 is immovable about sinking with the ship, being daunted by the immenseness of the world. He feels his fate is tied to the ship, and cannot bring himself to leave the only home he has ever known.
The Legend of 1900 received mixed critical reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 54% based on 41 reviews.[5] On Metacritic, the film has a 58/100 rating based on 28 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[6]
This Italian film, released in 1998, was originally known as "The Legend of the Pianist on the Ocean," which might sound better in Italian than in English! The film is a "fable" by director Giuseppe Tornatore, and it tells the story of a man nicknamed 1900, after the year of his birth. 1900 is born on a cruise ship, the Virginian, not much different than the Titanic. He develops into a virtuoso pianist, and masters many styles of playing. He manages even to beat the great Jelly Roll Morton at his own game. The Virginian is 1900's entire physical and emotional world, and when the ship's life comes to an end, 1900 refuses to leave it, and literally dies with the ship. I have not seen the film, but I understand that it has become a cult favorite among those who respond to millennial nostalgia.
The booklet contains a collage of stills and some production credits, but no information at all about the film or Morricone's music. This is unfortunate, because this is the sort of CD that sells mostly to people who care about such things. The sound quality is fine, if rather "studio-y"
