piano score

Written keyboard music

A piano score is a musical composition written or arranged for piano, showing all the notes to be played.

The term often refers specifically to a reduction of an orchestral or operatic work condensed onto two staves for piano performance or rehearsal: The accompanist worked from the piano score while the singers learned their parts.
