Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1008517 Composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius De Moraes. Arranged by Flávio Tiago Solai. Contemporary. Score. 3 pages. Solmus #6383243. Published by Solmus (A0.1008517). Advanced samba song arrangement according to the title of this ad. Includes techniques: Development of a very Brazilian rhythmic swing; 3 voices in the arrangement, being the right hand with the melody and harmony, the left hand in the reproduction of the bass, It is very dynamic with some small alternations between the hands; There is an improvisation section; Harmony very close to jazz; Coherent arrangement; Execution within the capabilities of the hands, that is, nothing that makes the interpreter impossible (as long as he does not have any physical problem). I hope you enjoy! It took 1 day for production, which includes experimentation, approval and finally editing.

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.596539 Composed by Juan MarÃa Solare. 20th Century,Concert,Contemporary. Score. 7 pages. Juan Maria Solare #3880115. Published by Juan Maria Solare (A0.596539). Listen: https://soundcloud.com/juan-maria-solare/ausenteAusente (Abstent) is an atonal milonga. If Franz Liszt composed a Bagatelle without tonality, why not a milonga without tonality. This piece is placed somewhere between classical music and new tango. Moderator Louis Barabbas wrote about Ausente for the BBC blog Fresh On The Net nr. 305 (19 November 2018), http://freshonthenet.co.uk/2018/11/faves305 Described as 'somewhere between classical music and new tango' the artist’s phrasing here is telling: somewhere rather than something. For in Juan Maria Solare’s Ausente (absent) we are certainly transported. Each angular phrase jutting up like stone columns or distended stalactites in a limey cave. The trickling thrust of its furtive intent feels somehow elemental yet focused through an urban noir prism, drops of heavy water in varying temperatures, some icicles and some steam, shards of smoky light poking around slow moving fan blades and between the rusty teeth of ancient window grills, monstrous warped shadows cast up from humble orphaned minutiae. Music as beautiful and unsettling as it is hard to dance to. The idea of dancing this piece was a surprise for me, since tango music doesn't need to be danced to (you can also just listen to it). But if you wonder how this tango would appear danced, imagine it is not called tango but contemporary ballet rooted in tango - and suddenly you find ways of dancing it... provided an open-minded choreographer is on board! If someone wants to dance this music in the style of the tango of 1920, they will have a hard time. It would be like trying to dance Strawinsky's Le Sacre du printemps as if it were the Blue Danube Waltz. Juan MarÃa Solare http://www.JuanMariaSolare.com

Piano Solo - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.865243 Composed by Chris Cooke. Contemporary. Score. 2 pages. Chris Cooke #3053047. Published by Chris Cooke (A0.865243). This playful little piece in G Major is a miniature. The 8-measure section in G is followed by an 8-measure section in E minor. The third section is a repeat of the first, with a coda, accelerating to the finish line. Young pianists practice reading a few measures of bass cleff in the right hand and treble clef in the left hand as the piece shifts octaves. The slur and staccatos give character and charm. While it is short, it is somewhere between easy and intermediate due to the clef changes. You will be able to judge best after hearing the recording. .

Piano Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1097088 Composed by Kenneth Baird. Blues,Jazz,Pop. Score. 4 pages. Kenneth Baird Music #700970. Published by Kenneth Baird Music (A0.1097088). The Hopeful Blues - by Kenneth Baird - for solo piano. Written in an authentic traditional jazz style, but no improvisation required. A joyful jazzy melody that works well at various tempos, but is most joyful when played about 160 = quarter note. The written-out improvisation section has the most technically advanced moments. In difficulty, this falls somewhere between advanced-intermediate and the lower end of advanced. Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. (Desmond Tutu) May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:13).

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.923406 Composed by Jenny Walker. 20th Century,Contemporary,Jazz. Score. 6 pages. J Walker #4894575. Published by J Walker (A0.923406). A train trip across America back in 2014 inspired me to write these pieces. As our train chugged across the land, there was a definite C major feel to the sound of the horn every time we passed a level crossing or met a freight train.West Side is a very rhythmical piece. The title was meant to refer to San Franscisco, though could be applied to many cities, somewhere vibrant and busy. Much of the rhythm is shared between the hands and so is not as complicated as it may sound.

Piano Solo - Digital Download SKU: A0.596533 Composed by Juan MarÃa Solare. 20th Century,Contemporary,Instructional. Score. 16 pages. Juan Maria Solare #3691243. Published by Juan Maria Solare (A0.596533). 1 - Peaceful Moment (3:30) 2 - Tender Moment (2:00) 3 - Placid Moment (3:00) 4 - Resonant Moment (2:45) 5 - Suspended Moment (4:15) Total estimated duration: 15:30 These simple moments were composed in Bremen, Germany, between 13 and 19 September 2018. The structure of the whole cycle of five pieces is somehow symmetric, since the pieces number 2 and 4 are similar in character, tempo and ryhthmic pattern. Also, the central piece is the most different of all others. The fifth piece, however, doesn't recall the first one (except that both share the same speed), but rather opens the cycle and points out to somewhere else. You can also find a certain system in the keys: the tonal centres are respectively Db, D, F#, B, A. If you order these pitches wisely, you get a usual chord: B minor 7th with 9th (B, D, F, A, C#). Does this detail make the music better? Certainly, since the composer is a fetichist. Style/genre: Neoclassical, minimal. Keywords: melancholic, peaceful, tranquil, sad, consolation.These Simple Moments have been recorded by the composer and is on Spotify (etc.).SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/album/1ZJWsNMTTI18osbOQUGWWlTIDAL: https://tidal.com/album/102876084DEEZER: https://www.deezer.com/album/85135272Tender Moment:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBY4N7ZpiLo

Numbered Places * piano * music by Juan María Solare
The cycle Numbered Places startsfrom a simple idea: the piece nr. 1 would have a title that begins with theword One, the piece nr. 2 a titlethat begins with the word Two and soon up to an arbitrary number (in this case, eleven).
For everything to have more cohesion, English names of different places orregions in either USA or (mainly) UK were used.
In its own way, Numbered Placesis therefore a conceptual album - alreadyfrom the point of view of titles.
Also musically, this world of sound has cohesion: instrumental piano music,neoclassical aesthetics (a somewhat broad concept that encompasses composerssuch as Erik Satie or Ludovico Einaudi), a certain simplicity in its surface.
Let us briefly comment each of the titles:
- One WayFlight to ...: The imaginary journey starts here. Each person will completethe sentence with the destiny of their choice.
- TwopennyLoaf: This is a neighborhood (and geographically a cape) in the city ofGloucester, Essex County, Massachusetts, USA. It is believed to have gotten itsname because it is shaped like a (bread) loaf that at the time cost twopennies.
- ThreeBridges: It is a city somewhere between London and Brighton, and a nodalpoint where trains typically split. Musically, the most minimalistic of all thecycle.
- Four Oaks:There are numerous places so named, both in England and the US, and possibly inother countries. I can imagine that there were actually four oak trees planted near.
- FivePointz: Neighborhood in Queens, New York. A graffiti mecca that wasdemolished in 2014 to build expensive buildings. And yes, it is spelled with zin this case.
- Six MileBottom: Is a hamlet near Cambridge in England. The hamlet derives its namefrom its distance from the start of Newmarket Racecourse and because it lies ina valley bottom. There is no public transport. The old train station, closed in1967 for lack of use, is now a private residence.
- SevenKings: It is a neighborhood in Ilford, East London. The earliest recordeduse of the name is as Sevekyngg or Sevekyngges in 1285, possibly meaning'settlement of the family or followers of a man called Seofoca'
- EightStreets: it is a (very sought-after) neighborhood located in the heart ofthe historic South End of the city of Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
- Nine Elms:a district of South West London. Nine Elms Lane was named around the year 1645,from a row of elm trees bordering the road.
- Ten TenRoad: it is a place -actually the main road- in the town of Apex, NorthCarolina, USA.
- ElevenLands: this place is mentioned in an old legal report from around 1782 asexisting in North London ("a place called Eleven Lands, containing fiveacres of arable, formerly Cosby's, beonging to a farm in the said parish ofBletcheley...", in " Acollection of the Reports of Cases, the Statutes, and Ecclesiastical Laws,relating to Tithes", volume 3). It has certainly changed its name.Musically, this last piece has a certain tango aura.
Why eleven pieces and not more? The truth is that - incredibly as it mayseem - I didn't find any place called "Twelve" something. Yes thereare such names in other languages, but I wanted to keep some consistency. Thereare also pubs or bars called Twelvewhatever, but since they are not sponsoring my music, I had no motivation togive them free advertising at the moment.
