Hi List,

doing a quick google search for the title and "sheet music" returns this
link on the first page:

http://www.kevinhabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Amelie-theme-Yann-Tiersen.pdf

which was engraved with Lilypond (as noted in the sheet music). I'm
guessing this is the sheet music to which the OP is referring.

Sarah, if that is the case, I'm afraid neither Lilypond, nor likely anybody
on this list, is in a position to grant permission to perform the score in
question, as it's not from us (that website just used Lilypond to do the
engraving). Furthermore, I'm pretty sure that piece (as the movie is barely
a decade old, I think) is still under copyright, so it's entirely possible
the website itself doesn't have permission to distribute it, either.

That said, as a piano test is not technically a public performance, it's
entirely possible that this falls under "fair use for educational
purposes", and that no permission is required. But copyright law is very
complicated, and different by country (and even by specific circumstance).

You'll have to use your own best judgment here. Maybe ask your teacher?

Lastly, I hope you like the score! This list is for people who use the
software that prints beautiful-looking sheet music, and we're all very
proud of the results it produces. If you ever want to start writing your
*own* music, the people here are incredibly helpful and friendly, and will
gladly (and generously) donate their time to help you. Feel free to drop by
and ask questions any time.

Good luck on your piano test!
