Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music Piano Mix 1: Great arrangements for easy piano
Book SynopsisPiano Mix is packed full of brilliant music that has been specially arranged for easy piano. It's a whirlwind of styles and genres from centuries gone by through to the present day. The repertoire reflects the type of music found in our Piano syllabuses. In Piano Mix 1 the pieces are mostly at Grade 1 standard, helping pianists progress to Grade 2 towards the end of the book. The series has been compiled and edited by David Blackwell with arrangements by Alan Bullard, Nikki Iles, Christopher Norton and Tim Richards to name a few. Every arrangement is enjoyable to play because it fits well under the pianist's hands while remaining faithful to the original work. Well-known music includes Handel's 'Fireworks Minuet' and opera classics from Bizet and Verdi. There are also lots of unsung melodies to be discovered, like Harry J. Lincoln's 'Bees-Wax Rag' and a traditional Swiss piece called 'In the Alps'. From the orchestra to the opera and from folk to jazz, there's a world of music at your fingertips! Perfect for learners exploring repertoire for the own-choice piece in ABRSM's Performance Grade examsTrade Review[The arrangements] lie well under the hands, and are expertly moderated to match the criteria for the grade levels indicated. I was particularly impressed by the quality throughout, and especially taken with several brilliant arrangements by Nancy Litton, Anne Marshall, Nicholas Scott-Burt and Martin White, all of whom show tremendous flair and intuition in their piano writing. All the arrangements in these books are fresh, unavailable elsewhere, and that together they make a fantastic addition to the easy piano repertoire...an essential purchase for any piano teacher, as well as a valuable addition to the music collections of students and amateur pianists everywhere. * Pianodao.com *The arrangements all manage the tricky balancing act of remaining true to the original while being pianistic and fitting under the hands. There are lots of pieces in these books that teachers and pupils will recognise and enjoy, and some lesser-known attractive works are introduced in a delightful way.

Edition Peters First Tutor Op. 599 for Piano
Book SynopsisIn 1801 the ten-year-old Carl Czerny impressed Ludwig van Beethoven in a performance of Beethoven''s Pathétique Sonata. At the age of 15 he had launched a career as a piano teacher. Czerny was chosen by Beethoven not only to give the first performance of his First Piano Concerto, and the Vienna premiere of his Fifth Piano Concerto but also to teach his nephew Carl. It is impossible to understate Czerny''s importance as a teacher and his many educational works for pianists at all stages are as important today as when they were first produced. The First Tutor is aimed at beginner pianists, and carefully builds the fundamentals of technique. This classic Edition Peters publication is used by teachers and students across the world.Erster Lehrmeister op. 599 für KlavierCzernys Übungsstücke sind bis heute gängige Standards für den Einstieg in das Klavierspiel.

Oxford University Press Graded Keyboard Musicianship Book 1
Book SynopsisGraded Keyboard Musicianship provides graded and integrated exercises for developing five core skills at the keyboard: figured bass, score-reading, transposition, harmonization, and improvisation. Book 1 assumes keyboard ability of Grade 1 ABRSM standard and covers up to Grade 5, while Book 2 covers Grades 6 to 8.Trade ReviewAll the usual disciplines - figured bass, score-reading, transposition and harmonisation - are treated from the earliest stages as interlinked, fluency in one informing fluency in another (often taking in some early-stages organ technique along the way). Each book is organised into levels - five in the first, three in the second - and each level is divided into five lessons, with new concept summarised and analysed as they are encountered. The material offered helpfully incorporates familiar hymns and melodies, and editorial material is succinct and cogent. A number of appendices and glossaries add to the usefulness of the books. Every teacher and student of keyboard harmony will find helpful material and fresh perspectives in these thoughtful volumes, and the compilers' holistic approach to the development of these skills is invaluable. * Stephen Farr, Choir & Organ, November 2017 *There have been many keyboard musicianship tutors over the years, and here now is one for the 21st century. The areas covered are not new - the core skills of figured bass, score-reading, harmonizing, transposing and improvising remain as ever. But the language used, the examples chosen and above all the structure of each book are imaginatively rethought. The eight levels, corresponding to ABRSM grades and therefore ranging from pre-grade 1 to pre-diploma, have five lessons in each, and each lesson includes the five skills - presented in an integrated way. So, as each key is introduced, the transposing and harmonizing examples utilize these, leading at the end of each lesson to improvising exercises derived from the preceding tasks. The structure makes the books suitable for private as well as directed study, and either used alongside conventional organ or piano lessons, or as an intensive keyboard musicianship course. * Stephen Patterson, rsmc.com *

Oxford University Press Jazz on a Winters Night 2 CD 10 Christmas
Book SynopsisFollowing the success of the first volume in Nikki Iles''s acclaimed jazz series, this collection features sophisticated new jazz arrangements of Christmas classics, including ''Let it snow!'', ''Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer'', ''Away in a manger'', and ''Past three o''clock''. A wide variety of styles are represented, from swing and stride to boogaloo and calypso, and the expertly recorded CD, by Nikki Iles, helps with interpretation. With fully notated rhythms, grooves, and improvisations, Jazz on a Winter''s Night 2 is the perfect collection for pianists looking for that authentic sound.Trade ReviewAs one would expect in jazz, there are regular stretches of a seventh, but not much beyond that, meaning that the pieces are also suitable for those with smaller hands. The included CD is essential listening, conveying nuances of rhythmic and tonal inflection which can't be notated. Nikki is of course an exceptional and highly experienced professional jazz performer, and it really shows here. For a well-styled performance, the audio content offers an outstanding model which should not be ignored. Jazz on a Winter's Night has established itself as my all-time favourite Christmas music book â but this sequel gives it a run for its money! Both books are now utterly essential for any pianist above intermediate level. It's great to find that Jazz on a Winter's Night 2 is as absolutely brilliant as its forerunner, and it really does deserve to sell a million! * www.pianodao.com *An authentic jazz sound can be easily created using Nikki's notated rhythms, grooves, harmonies and solos, and the expertise of the arranger guides players through the diversity of jazz characters.

Oxford University Press Piano Music of Africa and the African Diaspora
Book Synopsisfor solo piano This first volume for advanced beginners offers a wonderful introduction to Ragtime and Jazz as well as syncopation and different articulations. The pieces range from light-hearted pieces like 'Kwela,' the Zulu term for dance, to soulful and spiritual pieces like 'Dusk.' This volume includes performance notes for each piece.Trade ReviewVolume 1 (Early Intermediate) contains selections that should be accessible to students having played the intermediate works of Kabalevsky. These pieces have relatively thin textures and a fairly small hand span, while still possessing many sophisticated and intricate compositional effects. Two highlights from this volume are Dusk by Nkeiru Okoye (Nigeria), and Ticklin Toes by Florence Price (USA). Okoyes reflective piece creates a wonderfully impressionistic sheen using many Debussy-esque parallel fourths and fifths, while Prices jovial cakewalk has all the humor its title suggests. * The Score (Louisiana Music Teachers Assoc), May 09 *This is good news for everyone interested in piano music, and we should be indebted to William Nyaho for making it all readily available . . . You're bound to find something that catches your ear. A most welcome addition to the catalogue. * Pianist, Oct-Nov 07 *Technically accomplished pianists seeking to develop their hands, ears, and imagination in new ways, and to take their audiences on voyages of discovery, are recommended to obtain these volumes at the earliest opportunity. * Musical Opinion *Table of ContentsKwela No. 1 ; Tender Thought ; My Scarf is Yellow ; Dusk ; Piano Piece No. 2, Call and Response ; Soufiane ; Off-Beat Shorty ; Ticklin' Toes ; Sweet Mister Jelly Roll ; Dancing Barefoot in the Rain ; Lullaby ; The Monk ; Lullaby ; Builsa Work Song ; Ufie III

Oxford University Press Piano Music of Africa and the African Diaspora
Book Synopsisfor solo pianoThe third volume for early advanced pianists explores even more genres than the first two volumes, such as elements of Tango and Haitian Merengue music. ''Cell Phone Blues'' is derived from pop music and Jazz. This volume also includes spirituals and African folksongs. Performance notes and composer biographies are provided as well.Trade ReviewIt contains music that is pianistically exquisite (Coleridge-Taylor's Deep River, Ludovic Lamothe's La Dangereuse), fun (Howard Swanson's The Cuckoo, R. Nathaniel Dett's Jua Dance), dramatic (Wallace McClain Cheathem's Third Prelude) and pedagogical (Gamal Abdel-Rahim's Egyptian folksong variations, which are similar to Kabalevsky's sets of children's variations). The depth and breadth of 20th-century piano music is extended in this remarkable ongoing anthology of works by composers who remain underplayed and neglected. Volumes 4 and 5 are eagerly awaited. * International Piano, September 08 *Compiled and edited by the Ghanaian performer and scholar W. H. Chapman Nyaho, this anthology of thirteen pieces (each written by a different composer) is quite a treasure-chest. . . There is a feast of material here, including various traditional jazz style representations, such as blues and ragtime, but also works derived from folk-tunes and drumming rhythms that will doubtless catch the eye of many pianists with a fledgline interest in the genre. * Mark Tanner, Piano Professional, Spring 09 *A new supply of richly varied repertoire * John York, Piano 2007 *Technically accomplished pianists seeking to develop their hands, ears, and imagination in new ways, and to take their audiences on voyages of discovery, are recommended to obtain these volumes at the earliest opportunity. * Musical Opinion *Table of ContentsTake Me Back ; Deep River ; La Dangereuse ; Juba Dance ; Jamaican Dance No. 2 ; Prelude No. 3 ; The Cuckoo ; Scenes from Traditional Life No. 1 ; Scherzino ; Nimble Feet ; Cell Phone Blues ; Papillons ; Variations on an Egyptian Folksong

Oxford University Press Inc Improvising Fugue A Method for Keyboard Artists
Book SynopsisImprovising Fugue: A Method for Keyboard Artists is a guide for those who aspire to the highest levels of fluency as inventors of spontaneous music at the piano, fortepiano, harpsichord, organ, or digital keyboard.Trade ReviewMortensen has done it again! As in The Pianist's Guide to Historical Improvisation, he wryly de-mystifies the process of historically informed musical creation, and provides a richly informed, yet practical and step-by-step guide to understanding and improvising music, this time confronting the apex of musical forms: the fugue. Full of examples from the repertoire, and inventive, practical, progressive exercises and helpful explanations, this is a perfect present-day guide for students, teachers, and musicians who want to roll up their sleeves and get inside the art and craft of fugal creation. * Yi-heng Yang, Faculty of Keyboard Studies and Improvisation, The Juilliard School *Improvising music is one thing. Improvising a fugue is quite another, so remarkable as to be thought of as being possible only by such musical gods as J. S. Bach, even in his own day. And yet, musicians of the past aspired towards it through study and exercise, knowing that the insights and abilities thus gained would be invaluable—and many, more than we know, were actually able to do it. John Mortensen has shown a path in Improvising Fugue that makes this pinnacle visible and even reachable. This book will be your constant companion in this ultimate endeavor. * Peter Sykes, Faculty, Boston University, University of Michigan, The Juilliard School *It's a well-known fact. Many old masters, such as J.S. Bach, Händel, Mozart, Haydn, Durante, Beethoven, or Liszt, all learned and taught keyboard improvisation. Dr. John Mortensen's Improvising Fugue: A Method for Keyboard Artists will greatly contribute to the revival of these skills, once so essential to the art of piano playing. * Peter van Tour, author of Counterpoint and Partimento *Table of ContentsAcknowledgements Dedication Prelude Chapter 1 Introduction to Furno Chapter 2 Furno's Ten Partimenti Chapter 3 Bass Diminution Chapter 4 After Furno Chapter 5 Partimento Practice Chapter 6 Partimento Imitation and Fugue Chapter 7 Bicinium Chapter 8 Bass Motions in Invertible Counterpoint Chapter 9 Introduction to Improvised Fugue Chapter 10 Improvising a First Fugue on Handel Chapter 11 Exposition Chapter 12 Episode Chapter 13 Presentation Chapter 14 Stretto Chapter 15 Pedal Point, Cadenza, Ending Chapter 16 Improvising Fugue Glossary of Persons and Terms Index
