Learning to play “The Winner Takes It All” on the piano is both a musical and emotional experience. A true anthem of international pop, this cult song by Swedish group ABBA was released on July 21, 1980 as the first single from the album Super Trouper. Instantly propelled to the top of the charts in the UK, Ireland, and many other countries, it became one of the quartet’s most iconic titles, renowned for its dramatic power and melodic intensity.

This ballad, which tells the story of a lost love, owes much of its emotional impact to Agnetha Fältskog’s moving voice and to its arrangement, both sober and poignant. On the piano, the piece lends itself particularly well to interpretation: the broad melody highlights the inner “song” of the instrument, while the harmonic accompaniment allows pianists to work on regularity and control of dynamics. For any pianist, it is the perfect opportunity to combine technique and expressiveness.

At Noviscore, every pianist can find sheet music adapted to their level thanks to a wide range of progressive arrangements, available both for solo piano and piano accompaniment.

  • Beginner & Level 1: a simplified arrangement, available either with note names (ideal for those who don’t read sheet music) or in traditional notation adapted to the first years of learning. The notation is clear, the rhythmic writing lightened, and the playing fluid — a perfect stepping stone to begin piano with confidence.

  • Levels 2 & 3: more developed versions that preserve the musical richness of the piece while remaining accessible. They are also available with Noviscore’s exclusive “Reading Aid” system, which simplifies sight-reading and speeds up learning. To support progression, the rhythmic writing is deliberately simplified, allowing students to focus on accuracy of notes and hand coordination, while benefiting from suggested fingerings and a clear layout.

  • Expert Level: the ultimate solo piano version, designed especially for advanced pianists. Faithful to the original, this arrangement conveys all the harmonic and rhythmic richness of the song, with precise indications of phrasing and articulation. A true technical and musical challenge, it develops expressive control, hand balance, and playing accuracy, leading to a performance worthy of the stage.

    • Thanks to this unique approach, Noviscore offers a real progressive learning method, where each version supports the pianist’s journey and allows them to play a great classic of the repertoire at their own pace. With our exclusive interactive system, you can adjust the level of difficulty, slow down the tempo, and progress step by step. This innovative pedagogical approach transforms learning into a moment of genuine pleasure, without ever sacrificing musicality.

    Playing “The Winner Takes It All” on the piano not only means adding a timeless 80s classic to your repertoire, but also working on essential skills such as legato control, hand balance, and expressive intensity. Whether you are a beginner seeking motivation or an advanced pianist aiming to enrich your interpretation, this sheet music provides the perfect framework for progress. With Noviscore, you benefit from recognized expertise in the pedagogical adaptation of pop music and rediscover the joy of playing a song that made history and continues, more than forty years after its release, to touch the hearts of millions of listeners worldwide.
