Though "Unworthy" would begin with guitar, of course. As does "I'll Never Fall In Love Again" from Promises, Promises.
"Everything Else" from Next To Normal also starts as solo piano, with the orchestra joining in later - though we're to understand the conceit that Natalie is playing by herself the whole time.
And, one of the greatest examples, IMO - "The Piano Lesson" from The Music Man, where Amaryllis' exercise not only wonderfully becomes the melody for the mother/daughter argument, but is enhanced by orchestra as well - but of course, Amaryllis is "playing solo" the whole time. |
