Critically-acclaimed Hollywood filmmaker Stanley Kubrick's attention to detail, his highly original cinematic techniques, and his interest in the disturbing in his numerous and sometimes controversial cult classics are what have earned him a place among the most respected and influential film directors of all time. Music was one of many factors to which Kubrick applied his almost obsessive perfectionism. Beginning with 2001: A Space Odyssey, Kubrick became a tireless explorer of works of the Western classical music canon, and developed a deep fascination with the associations between sound and image. His musical selections would become significant means for defining specific images in the films. They would even become a way to shape characters and their developments over the course of the film.This collection features eighteen classical works from three of Kubrick’s films (2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange and Barry Lyndon), arranged for intermediate piano. His musical choices were remarkably varied, ranging from opera, symphony, symphonic poem, and concert waltz to string quartet, solo sonata and other forms of chamber music. Included in this collection are works by George Frideric Handel, Antonio Vivaldi, Giovanni Paisiello, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert, Gioachino Rossini and Edward Elgar. Written commentaries are provided to analyze the great originality with which Kubrick combined music and image in his films.
