Does anyone know if there has been a piano version of "Dueling Banjos" written? If so, who publishes it? I have a student who really wants to play this as a piano duet with me. I told him I would try to find out if it exists for piano.

Thanks all. Found it on sheetmusicplus.com . By the way, it is in fact called "Duelling Banjos"...... featured in the movie "Deliverance."

My brother -in-law has the sheet music. It gives the dots for the well-known "conversation" bits, but after that it just gives "ad lib". I play it on guitar/banjo and it works well in G although in the film it's in A. The first bit is a G-C chord change., then it's bcdbcabga.(repeat) .ggabgba. ggabg---
gggabcdcb (repeat)cccdefgfe (repeat)gggabcdcb (repeat)
ddde f#gagf#(repeat) GCG.. After that you're kinda on your own. Hope this helps

Im not sure, but you could probably figure it out yourself, or if you just bought the banjo music and transposed it to the key you wanted, you could play it from there.

You could probably transcribe it, but I wouldn't bother. Some songs translate well to other instruments, but others are so wrapped up in the idiom of their particular instruments that it wouldn't make sense to try to play them on a different instrument. This is one of those songs, I think.

well I can transcribe it for you or do concert paraphrase like Liszt.
