Legend of 1900

This is one of my favorite movies. It is about a man, named 1900, born on a ship, in the first day of the century, said to have never stepped on land. He had an outstanding talent playing the piano. Even the great piano player, the "inventor of jazz", Jelly Roll Morton wanted to see how this man can play the piano. The two of them engaged in a piano competition to see which one was the best and 1900 came out victorious.
It's a great movie, and I encourage you to watch it. Below you can see a scene from the movie: "Magic Waltz" on a stormy weather...






Ennio Morricone published the sheet music for all the piano songs from the movie. They are not very easy, so if you are able to learn them, then you can consider yourself a very good pianist.
