The Classics to Jazz collection published by Santorella Publications features some of the most popular masterworks from four of the greatest musical geniuses in history. Each piece is first presented in its original form and then on the following page, it is arranged with a Jazz feel. The Classics to Jazz series is a great educational tool for the advancing pianist making the transition from Classical studies to the exciting world of Jazz Piano. These curiously irresistible melodies arranged and edited by Jonathon Robbins will grab you as soon as you begin to play. Fun and exciting, these pieces will become the most played tunes in your library. This particular edition features the works of Carl Czerny (1791-1857). All original and jazz pieces are derived from Czerny's Opus 821, "One Hundred and Sixty (160) Eight-Measure Exercises for the Piano". Never before have these Czerny exercises been so clearly presented in such clean 'single page" engravings. The original works alone are worth the price of admission, but then add a jazz edition to boot and you've got a winner. Featuring: Exercises No. 1 - 15 - 20 - 22 - 25 - 34 - 37 - 42 - 59 - 63 - 70.
