Summer of '42

MICHEL LEGRAND

Summer of ’42, composed by Michel Legrand, is an iconic piece of film music, known for its soft and melancholic melody that evokes both nostalgia and the beauty of summer memories. This composition, taken from the eponymous film, is one of Legrand’s most beautiful creations, blending simplicity with deep emotion.

I chose to transcribe this piece for piano to pay tribute to this masterpiece and allow pianists of all levels to immerse themselves in its musical world. My arrangement preserves the essence of the original piece while being accessible and enjoyable to play, whether you are a beginner or more advanced. This complete kit will guide you step by step in learning this unforgettable melody.
