Cool Through Styles And Centuries. Par KALLMEYER ULRICH. Cool Cat Piano Goodies - What's that? To begin with, watch as Ulrich Kallmeyer explores various pop idioms in cool pieces conceived for easy to medium difficulty and for contrasting harmonies and rhythms. Such a claim still doesnt do justice to the Goodies, however, since references to the classical tradition shimmer through these pieces. Behind Second Loss is Schumanns Erster Verlust, and the New Solo for Mr. Byrd reaches much farther yet into music history. Other works were influenced by Baroque and Classical forms such as prelude, chorale and rondo. The Goodies leap nimbly through eras and styles and have something to offer both beginning and proficient pianists./ Recueil / Piano

Some songs included here sum up the optimistic and patriotic spirit in the years leading up to Gallipoli, such as Waltzing Matilda and God Save The King, while others like And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda, from after the event, look back on the horrors of the Anzac experience on those fateful days.Other tunes come from the wonderful British Music Hall tradition, using irony, sarcasm and humour to overcome the sadness associated with the Great War.

Par PIAZZOLLA ASTOR. Argentinean tango composer, Bandoneon player and arranger Astor Piazzolla ?s oeuvre revolutionized the traditional tango into a new style termed ?nuevo tango?, incorporating elements from jazz and classical music and new instruments such as the Saxophone and Electric Guitar. The leaner, more fluid musical style with simpler, more continuous forms is exemplified perfectly in Libertango. The title, which merges the words ?libertad? (liberty) and ?tango?, symbolizes Piazzolla 's break from classical tango to tango nuevo. Originally composed for the bandoneon, here Libertango is transcribed for solo Piano by RossanoSportiello. This fast paced (quarter note = 152) piece by the world's foremost composer of tango music is a guaranteed success with audiences and performers alike! / Musique latine / Répertoire / Piano
