A number of which he has collected on Now Playing, on which he has pieces from films such as On Golden Pond, The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter,
… The Milagro Beanfield Wars, The Firm, Havana, Tootsie, Mulholland Falls, Random Hearts, Heaven Can Wait and The Champ performed solo on piano.

Grusin only had to convert the orchestral pieces for Havana and Heaven Can Wait, which were written for soprano sax, to piano. (AD)more
