Whoever transcribed this score did an awful job. The chords for Bella's Lullaby don't match up at all with the music released on the soundtrack. As if that weren't annoying enough, the chords given sound... wrong, like they're in the wrong key or something. Honestly, you'll do better to find the few copies of user-created Bella's Lullaby floating around on the internet--those are much more faithful to the actual score.

I gave it two stars because the other music included sounds... okay. It's a lot of the same stuff over and over again--nothing very original. But since most people are going to buy this to learn Bella's Lullaby, I want to urge y'all to steer clear.

It's great to have the piano music for the score of the Twilight movie, and especially for Bella's Lullaby that everyone loves! However, some of the chords in Bella's Lullaby sound off, even if there's supposed to be some dissonance. My biggest pet peeve is that there is a wrong note in the variation theme of the lullaby. On page 19 for the lullaby, in the first measure of the 1st ending (eight measures from the end), the note on the third beat of the measure should be an E instead of a G in the right hand. Carter Burwell's website([...])shows the music for the original theme and the variation theme, and the book has it wrong. It makes the variation theme sound completely different!

Overall, I am happy to have the lullaby as well as other parts of the score, but I almost like the version I found on the internet better. I would still recommend this for any pianist who loves the twilight score!

Not only did the songbook come in like 2 days it was perfect. I was really excited for this songbook but wasn't sure if it was a good buy or not because of the reviews I have read about it being nothing like the songs in the movie. In the end I'm really happy that I decided to purchase it because it was exactly what I wanted. Don't listen to the reviews that say Bella's Lullaby is wrong! I played it while listening to the song and everything matched up...thank you :)

If you know how to play piano, you must buy this. All the music inside are really really good. But if you can't play piano very well, I suggest you buy "Twilight - The Score: Music from the Motion Picture - Easy piano solo" first, it is suitable for the people who can't piano... just like me, haha!!

I was searching for the music from the Score. I absolutely loved Bella's Lullaby and when I found this I was thrilled. Its easy to read and play and sounds just like the music from the Score CD.

Not difficult at all, most songs are extremely short and simple enough. However, there are some beautiful melodies and it is fun and easy to play. If you are a fan of the movies and know basic piano you will enjoy it. I do wish that the songs were longer, but that's not a problem with this book, just a complain about the score in general.

I have been playing the piano for years & was so excited to find this book! Like everyone else, I bought it for Bella's Lullaby but I cannot tell you how disappointed (even downright bored) I was with the overall product. The translation from full orchestra to solo piano is terrible. The chords are repetitive and the overall reproduction is so dissimilar to the music you hear in the score. It would be nice if there was a way to preview sheet music like you are able to preview songs that you download. If I could have done that, I definitely would have passed on this unsatisfactory music book.

If you want the actual piano solo music from the Twilight movie, this is a must. It's not the easy version, so if you don't have much piano skill, you may want to go with the Easy piano solo instead.

This score music was great for my daughter who is learning the piano. The sucess of the movie has helped children relook at music and this score, although not the easiest for a young musician to play will stretch their abilities and make them want to practice.

This was awesome. I've been learning to play the piano and I was hoping To play some of the Twilight songs. These songs are amazing. I would reccommend everyone to get it.
