Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1375656 By Martycli Piano Guy. By Martyn Clive Johnson aka Martycli Piano Guy. Arranged by Martyn Clive Johnson (aka Martycli Piano Guy). Blues,Comedy,Early Music,Jazz,Ragtime. Score. 13 pages. Martyn Johnson #960199. Published by Martyn Johnson (A0.1375656). This is a Stride Piano piece and sort of Ragtime as well. Very much influenced by the styles of Scott Joplin and the early jazz pianists who all had colourful names like Fat's Waller, Willie 'The Lion' Smith and James P Johnson. It's a very cheerful, joyous upbeat tune which is hopefully intended to get toes tapping. It's one of my personal favourites from the tunes I have composed.

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1293722 Composed by Bert Kalmar, Harry Ruby, and Oscar Hammerstein. Arranged by Martyn Clive Johnson (aka Martycli Piano Guy). 20th Century,Blues,Instructional,Jazz,Ragtime. Score. 6 pages. Martyn Johnson #884198. Published by Martyn Johnson (A0.1293722). This is a my piano version of 'A Kiss to Build a Dream On'It is mostly in the key of C major but modulates briefly to Eb for the ending. I have arranged it in a stride piano style. This style of music has evolved from the ragtime of Scott Joplin through the early jazz piano players like Fats Waller and James P Johnson. The left hand can be tricky but it can be simplified by replacing the tenths with single bass notes. It's both a cheerful and sentimental tune. I have included chord symbols which I find as useful as the notation when learning a piece. I haven't included pedal symbols, dynamics or fingering - leaving this as a choice for the player and no two pianist ever see eye to eye on these issues in any event!Please note this is a piano solo only and other instruments included in my YouTube video are not notated.

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.750197 Composed by Ray Henderson. Arranged by Bradley Sowash. Jazz. Score. 6 pages. Bradley Sowash #6477721. Published by Bradley Sowash (A0.750197). Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue (Has Anybody Seen My Gal?) Stride piano for mere mortals! In the 1920s, legendary jazz pianists such as James P. Johnson and Fats Waller built on characteristics of Ragtime to develop an even more virtuosic and popular genre that came to be known as Stride Piano. Awe inspiring to listen to but difficult to play, the technical demands of authentic Stride Piano often include huge left-hand leaps, chord voicings that span a 10th or more, highly inventive improvised right-hand runs, and lightning fast tempos; all formidable challenges that can elude even highly accomplished pianists! That’s where this new arrangement of a golden oldie comes in. By converting some of its more taxing obstacles into more playable figures, the ever-popular Stride Piano sound is made more accessible to pianists possessing merely reasonable technical skills and/or average handspans. In short, this arrangement is easier to play than it sounds while retaining essential Stride piano traits and even a few tricks of the trade such as unusual syncopations and novelty cluster chords that will enthrall your listeners. Level: Late intermediate and above.Length: 2:40.Pages: 5 including cover.
