Tara's Theme from Gone with the Wind by Max Steiner on piano

The most famous octave in film music? Max Steiner's sumptuous score for Gone with the Wind is dripping with emotion (and portamento!) Max Steiner bridged the gap between silent accompaniment and talkies, and set the orchestral sound for movies for decades.
Played on Brian's beloved Kawai piano in this April month of film scores.

Love how you introduce with a brief bio of the composer.. My wife's favorite movie of all time (I always assumed Tara was a character in the movie before I actually watched it)

I always say I'm trying to make videos my high school eager self would want to watch!

A great hymn of invitation.

[@davidseagalmusic]

Beautifully played! I'm guessing you sight read this but you play so well! Thank you!

[@HeyThereBrianDean]

Mixed with maybe a little too much improvisation at the end...Thanks David!

In Brazil it's known by the teacher Girafales and Miss Florinda's meeting, Chavo del 8, Mexico.

I would say the most famous octave in film history is in "Over the Rainbow".

[@HeyThereBrianDean]

I tried to keep it instrumental, but you must be right for octaves occurring in movies.
