Salvatore — Classic Piano Sheet Music

506 people have learned this song

Read "Salvatore" by Lana Del Rey in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of D. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 60 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a wonderful way to develop your pedal bass technique — your left hand will hold or repeat a steady bass note while the harmony shifts above it, which is what gives the song its dreamy, floating quality.

At 60 BPM you have plenty of time to think, so use that space to focus on smooth chord transitions in your right hand, especially moving into the C and E chords, which sit outside the key of D and can catch your fingers off guard if you're not ready.

The F# to F#7 shift is just one added note, so keep your hand shape stable and simply lower that finger.

I'd suggest practicing hands separately at first, then looping the sections where those borrowed chords appear until the shapes feel automatic.

Once you're comfortable, add sustain pedal sparingly — change it with each new chord to keep things clear.

This is the piece that'll make pedal bass feel like second nature.

About “Salvatore

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Salvatore"?
Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature D. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "Salvatore" by Lana Del Rey played in?
Salvatore is arranged in the key of D on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Salvatore" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature D, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 60 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
