A Unique Approach to Classics for the Piano Student.
Familiar themes by classic composers are presented in two, and sometimes three sections forming a medley.
In the first section, the theme is arranged in traditional style.
The second and third sections are written in contrasting and embellished versions.
Many are lighthearted caricatures with syncopations in a jazzy style.
Others are enhanced with contemporary harmonies, imaginative bass lines and counter melodies.
Students will enjoy the stylistic changes and subtle humor that makes these pieces fun to play and terrific for recitals.
