piano arrangement
Score for keys
A piano arrangement is a piece of music originally composed for other instruments or voices that has been adapted for piano performance.
The arranger translates orchestral textures, vocal lines, or ensemble parts into something playable on a single instrument: She learned a piano arrangement of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony.
Some arrangements aim for faithful reduction; others reimagine the original freely.
