David Raksin's theme from the 1944 film Laura became one of the most recorded melodies of its era, and Erroll Garner made it one of his calling cards.

This compact reading was set down in 1951, fitting a complete Garner performance, wandering introduction and all, into the length of a single record side.

The transcription gives you every note with the hands separated.

Portrait of Erroll Garner
Erroll Garner

Erroll Garner, the self-taught composer of Misty, swung like a full orchestra: left hand strumming steady fours like a rhythm guitar, right hand floating just behind the beat. He never learned to read music and never needed to.
