The time had come to pay homage to someone who has been a faithful companion to me for 65 years and has witnessed of the joy and pain I have endured during the writing of all of my opuses, from 8 to 111. Today he still shares my fervor for jazz music and our wonderful complicity has been preserved on my piano solo album, The Last Call...?* which I recorded at the age of 93. This “someone is my instrument, an old grand piano over 100 years old: Blüthner No. 89293, model 190, constructed in 1910 in Leipzig, Germany, and to which I dedicate this Opus 111, the very last of my series of works for piano. The Blüthner-Variationen were composed starting with a theme I had imagined during recording sessions which were done in my home. I named it Blues in Three, since it was related to the traditional harmonic chord progressions of the 12 bar blues, but in 3/4 time. The simple theme, repeated twice, generates 8 variations, each one requiring different pianistic means. It is my hope that future performers will like the undeniably jazzy orientation of this work. Julien-François Zbinden, Lausanne – Valombré, 23 juillet 2012 * The Last Call...?, piano solo album, TCB The Montreux Jazz Label No. 43102.

These musical sketches were written to provide a variety of styles that are fun to play and yet sound harder than they are. Each solo represents a familiar animal that walks slow, jumps or runs fast. This will stimulate the students imagination helping them play and interpret each piece easily. This collection of 16 new piano solos will introduce piano students to a variety of musical styles. These pieces were composed with love for all my piano students and the hope that students everywhere will enjoy playing them as much as I have enjoyed composing them.

On January 1st, 2016, Stephane Vande Ginste had an extraordinary intention: he planned to compose a 1-minute piece for piano every single day for the whole year. The result is an impressive collection of piano miniatures which - although contemporary - result in a variety of musical styles: apart from some experimental pieces, there are jazzy- and poppy pieces, more traditional etudes, polyphonic compositions and so on... The 366 pieces also tell various stories: from very emotional events like the terrorist attacks in Brussels over homages in honor of deceased artists (David Bowie,...) to birthdays and festive occasions,... . More than once, even poetry (Heinrich Heine, Anna Enquist, ..) or other pieces of art inspired Stephane to compose his daily one-minute piece. Every single composition originated from the here and now, and therefore capture the unfiltered feelings and emotions of that very unique moment in time: joy, enthusiasm, but also melancholy and sadness.

This late intermediate piano solo is a theme and six variations based on Sanford Faulkner's Arkansas Traveler. The theme begins in the key of A major, and the variations move through different keys, including A minor, D major, and D minor. The variations explore the styles of Mozart, MacDowell, a Viennese waltz, an Impressionistic work featuring chords built in fourths over an ostinato figure, a jazzy swing piece with a walking bass line, and a rhumba.

This swingin' late intermediate piano solo is in the key of G major and uses triplets, syncopation, and jazzy chords. Throughout the piece, a bluesy hand-over-hand ascending gesture provides an impressive display for audiences, while laying well under the hands. Punchy rhythms and a strong bass line make it a joy to perform. A Federation Festivals 2020-2024 selection.

Morton Gould composed brilliantly for orchestra, Broadway, film, television, ballet and piano. He became nationally recognized through his work in radio, where he introduced many of his own compositions in a light, distinctly American style. This arrangement of his Pavanne, from Symphonette No. 2, is for 2 pianos, and it is unusually bright and sprightly (and almost jazzy) for what is traditionally a slower and statelier dance form. It has distinctly American and popular styling and is appropriate for two late intermediate level pianists. Two scores are included. A Federation Festivals 2016-2020 selection.
