Part of the popular 'Top Ten' series, this collection contains ten carefully selected pieces in the jazz style.There is such variety within the genre we call 'jazz' it seems almost impossible to do it justice in just ten songs, but we've given it our best shot. We've unforgettable standards, like Duke Ellington's 'Take The A Train', and 'Fly Me To The Moon' as popularised by Frank Sinatra - elegant tunes from the 1930s, such as 'The Way You Look Tonight' and 'The Very Thought Of You' - classic numbers from the late 50s and early 60s, 'So What' and 'Cantaloupe Island' - and we make no apology for stretching the jazz definition to accommodate the gorgeous 'Girl From Ipanema'!Some of the pieces are arranged for Piano and Voice - others are purely instrumental, but every one possesses that special something that has earned it a place in our collection, and indeed in the heads and hearts of countless jazz lovers around the world.Each piece in The Top Ten Jazz Songs To Play On Piano is accompanied by interesting background notes to give you that extra bit of insight. / Piano

Vocal Score / Softcover. Par VERDI GIUSEPPE. In a letter of 2 January 1851, Verdi suggested for the first time Antonio Garcia Gutierrez play El Trovador as a possible subject for his new Opera: 'It seems to me very beautiful, imaginative, and full of strong situations'. Once he had settled on the subject, the composer immediately began looking for a theater in which to produce the Opera and after protracted negotiations he decided to stage Il Trovatore in Rome. The premiere occurred on 19 January 1853 at the Teatro Apollo and was an enormous success. The appreciation of the new work increased from performance to performance. The third performance was the last the composer was contractuallyobliged to attend: at the end of the evening the audience presented Verdi with two laurel wreaths. Verdi 's account of the performances, contained in a letter to his friend Clarina Maffei, was eloquent: 'They say that this Opera is too sad and that there are too many deaths. But ultimetley in life everything is death! What exists?. . . ' Notwithstanding Verdi 's pessimism, Il Trovatore circulated rapidly. In fact, no other Opera of Verdi except 'Ernani' enjoyed such instant and widespread success./ Répertoire / Chant et Piano

Vocal Score. Par ROSSINI GIOACHINO. In the days just before the Christmas of 1816, Rossini was still looking for the subject and the libretto for an opera that he was contractually obliged to stage at the Teatro Valle in Rome in just over a month's time. Jacopo Ferretti proposed a libretto he had himself written based on the famous fairytale by Perrault, Cinderella. Rossini composed the opera in less than a month, completing it on the 24th January 1817, the day before its public debut. Removed from its original fairytale context, Ferretti and Rossini's La Cenerentola is a comedy with some credible situations, where comedy and sentiment come together brilliantly. The opera was a fantastic hit rightfrom the start and is still one of the composer's absolute masterpieces! This is the Vocal Score of Rossini and Ferretti's famous collaboration, La Cenerentola./ Répertoire / Chant et Piano
