Twelve easy to intermediate songs. Par DICKBAUER KLAUS. Whether together with the professional Play Along MP3-CD or the available piano accompaniment, the collection of twelve original compositions by Klaus Dickbauer and Martin Gasselsberger grooves from the first to the last note. The solo pieces are within the easy to intermediate degrees of difficulty, and are stylistically based on jazz, world, cinema and pop genres. Their interpretation is perfectly complemented by the accompanying CD, on which the complete versions are recorded at a high-quality level. The entertaining pieces already stimulate the most diverse imaginations through their attractive titles. In ?Your Fairy Tale? or in ?The Story of the Angry Rabbit?, for example, you can enter fairy tale worlds, it becomes thoughtful in ?Melancholia?, lively and cheerful in ?Joyful Dance? and ?Come and Show your Bright Side!? ?Tricky 7? incorporates the 7/4 time into its brisk tempo with rhythmic demands, while the ?Wedding Waltz? tirelessly turns in circles. Dickbauer's ?Let the Cat In? shows that a cat has no patience. At many points in the twelve character pieces there is room for improvisation and creativity, which should encourage the listener to develop their own ideas. Harmonies or scales are noted in the score. The chord symbolism is generally completed in the clarinet part above the melody. A notated piano part is available for download, but can also be purchased as a print edition (UE 38046). An ideal volume to achieve fun and audience appeal. Twelve easy to intermediate songs without words for clarinet Characterful compositions spanning jazz, world, cinema and pop Professionally recorded CD featuring a variety of instruments with full demonstration performances and play-along tracks The piano accompaniment is available as either a free printout or as a printed edition (UE 38046)/ Recueil / Clarinette

Movie themes have their own special appeal. Their role is to convey and amplify the atmosphere and emotions of moving pictures. In many cases they take on a life of their own and it is such titles as these, classics in their own right, which we selected for this book.With a lot of effort and patience in both arranging this broad musical palette and recording the play-along CD, Alfred Music Publishing have been able to create play-alongs that are live studio recordings. Through this we can make a broad spectrum of styles accessible to the player, be it a classical orchestra, a jazz orchestra, a jazz combo, a rock and pop band or any of the possible line-ups in between.We are especially proud to have top-class musicians of the contemporary European music scene on our recordings. Their unique interpretations make it a worthwhile experience to just listen to the tracks, let alone having yourself accompanied by top notch musicians. The chord symbols are meant for accompaniment by a teacher or duet partner so that the themes can be played independently from the CD. This is why the symbols are shown in concert pitch, even in the editions for transposed instruments (i.e. clarinet, alto and tenor saxophone). The chord symbols also make it possible to perform tunes from 'Cinema Classics' live with a duet partner or band. / Saxophone Tenor
