Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music The Anna Magdalena Bach Book of 1725
Book SynopsisIn 1725 Johann Sebastian Bach wrote two keyboard suites for his wife Anna Magdalena, whom he married in 1721. These became the first entries in a book in which, over the next twenty years, were gathered together both keyboard pieces and vocal works by Johann Sebastian and his two sons Carl Philipp Emanuel and Johann Christian as well as such composers as Couperin, Böhm, Petzold and Hasse. An illuminating portrait of domestic music-making in the Bach family during the Leipzig period, this authoritative new edition of the book contains the keyboard pieces only, including the well-known Minuet in G and Prelude in C, from The Well-Tempered Clavier, Part I, and more substantial items such as C. P. E. Bach's Solo per il Cembalo in E flat (early versions of Partitas Nos. 3 and 6 and French Suites Nos. 1 and 2 are excluded). This first-class edition, providing an important and attractive introduction to the Baroque style, also contains invaluable advice on appropriate tempo, phrasing, articulation and ornamentation in accordance with contemporary performance practice.Trade ReviewA highly commendable edition, enabling players to set Bach's music in the context of pieces which he thought useful for students. * Early Music Review *Table of ContentsMenuet in F, BWV Anh.

Oxford University Press Piano Time Jazz Book 1
Book SynopsisThe book includes 29 pieces in a range of jazz and light-hearted styles, supported by witty illustrations. It begins with wonderfully simple repertoire that succeeds in being both truly jazzy and very easy.Piano Time Jazz Book 1 is around the level of Piano Time 2.Trade ReviewThe two volumes of Piano Time Jazz by Pauline Hall come attractively packaged, with good quality print and fun comic style illustrations throughout. Book 1 starts off with some simple pieces which are fun to play - 'Tick Tock Boogie' and 'Cheeky Charlie' work well, as does the selection of blues, rock and tangos which follows. I particularly liked 'Living it Up' and 'Friday Night Rag'. In Book 2 the selection is equally appealing. Favourites include 'Polka Dots', 'Three-Quarter Time' (a jazz waltz) and 'Funfair', although you would be hard pressed to find something not to your taste. A most successful selection of accessible, fun to play music. * Music Teacher June 2000 *Providing a useful resource that teaches specific musical skills and techniques is a difficult process, but is one that has been successfully addressed by Pauline Hall with her two volumes of graded jazz piano pieces . . . Designed to complement rather than replace other tutorial material, these volumes are a valuable resource for piano teachers - they are a fun and challenging alternative to some of the more humdrum aspects of learning the piano. * Alison Ruddock, Musicteachers.co.uk July 2000 *Table of ContentsBrown jug boogie ; Bus stop blues ; Cheeky Charlie ; City express ; Coconut calypso ; Come on and boogie ; Cowboy blues ; Creepy crawly ; Driving force ; Friday night rag ; Got a new car! ; Hey, Lawdy! ; Homework blues ; Hop, skip, and jump ; Living it up ; Lollipop rock ; Marching in again ; Mexican fiesta ; Saturday stroll ; Sherbert fizz ; Somewhere that's sunny ; A story book romance ; Street parade ; Tango for starters ; Tea for one cha-cha ; Temper tantrum tango ; The sloop 'John B' ; Tick tock boogie ; Window shopping
