La La Land is a 2016 American musical romantic drama film written and directed by Damien Chazelle, and starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone as a musician and an aspiring actress who meet and fall in love in Los Angeles. The film's title refers both to the city of Los Angeles and to the idiom for being out of touch with reality.
Justin Hurwitz is an American film composer and a television writer. He is best known for scoring the film La La Land. He also scored Damien Chazelle's two other features, Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench and Whiplash. For La La Land, he won two Academy Awards: Best Original Score and Best Original Song (for "City of Stars") as well as the Golden Globe Awards for Best Original Score and Best Original Song (for "City of Stars"), and the BAFTA Award for Best Film Music.

It was hard to find the right register to have both the piano part, and the singing of Ryan Gosling. Ryan Gosling sings as a Bass, but putting the melody any lower in the piano would have made it sound odd and would have ruined any sense of underlying bass. I chose to keep the original piano at the pitch it's written at, and the whistling in octaves, slightly detached to imitate the whistled tune.
