The Stars and Stripes Forever, patriotic march written by John Philip Sousa is a must for every 4th of July celebration! This arrangement is for intermediate level piano solo but follows the same style as the original 1897 version. The key has been changed to the key of C Major for easier playing. It is simplified a bit by eliminating the octaves and 4-note chords, but maintaining a satisfying blend of melody and accompaniment. Lots of helpful fingering, and expression marks. Great for patriotic events and recitals. Arranged by Amy J. Snyder. Visit Amy at https://www.facebook.com/amyjsnyder7.
