The sheet music I bought is the 2005 P&P -- it's pretty complex stuff. I can manage the simplest piece at about half the intended tempo right now ... but continual improvement is what practice is for, right?

I also have some other stuff on order, including moderately-complex arrangements from S&S, some stuff from Emma, the 1995 P&P, and the songbook from Love Actually that I bought soley for "Glasgow Love Theme," which is the music featured in this fan video: Reflections. The L.A. songbook was rather pricey -- especially since it's coming from the UK with the other book I mentioned -- but it's worth it. (I think this is why I've never really dedicated myself to piano practice before; I never had stuff to play that I actually liked. Even the adult beginner piano books all have "Jingle Bells" and "Hound Dog" in them. Boring!)

I think the 1995 BBC version's music was written for the production, but I don't remember the composer's name. It was terribly complex, though; you're right about that!

I have caught the mother's cold, so I'm taking a half day here at work and going home to snuggy pajamas, a comfortable recliner, and some chicken soup, myself. I doubt I'll be going to my nieces' birthday party tomorrow, and I'm in agony over that -- my older niece was in Vegas with her father on Thanksgiving, so I didn't get to see her then.

Continue resting up and getting yourself better, and I shall endeavor to do the same! *hugs you*
