Love Story — Violin & Piano Sheet Music
Taylor Swift’s timeless classic arranged for violin & piano by Paul Lorenz — ideal for weddings, recitals & professional performance
The moment the first notes of “Love Story” ring out on a violin, every guest knows the ceremony has begun in earnest. Taylor Swift’s Romeo-and-Juliet ballad has become one of the most-requested pieces at wedding ceremonies worldwide — yet professional-quality violin & piano arrangements remain largely absent from mainstream publishers. Official editions focus on piano, vocal, and guitar; the wedding string player is left choosing between beginner transcriptions stripped of all nuance and free MuseScore uploads that no self-respecting professional would put on their music stand.
This arrangement by Paul Lorenz was designed from the ground up for the violin — not adapted from a piano reduction, but written idiomatically for the instrument. The violin line captures the song’s melodic arc with natural phrase shapes and dynamics suited to the string voice. The piano accompaniment provides full harmonic support without dominating. A separately extracted violin part, formatted and paginated for the music stand, is included alongside the conductor score. At €9.90, this is the professional’s choice for a song that deserves more than a student arrangement.

Programming Love Story
Love Story sits beautifully at the emotional centre of a ceremony or recital — most often as the processional, or as a warm, recognisable moment that lets an audience exhale and lean in. Its melodic arc rewards unhurried phrasing, so give the violin room to breathe over the piano’s steady harmonic bed and let the final chorus lift without rushing. It pairs naturally with other lyrical wedding favourites, framing the bigger showpieces without competing with them. Explore the related arrangements below to build the rest of the programme.
