Contemporary Theatre Classics

Piano Solo

Phillip Keveren is one of the very best arrangers for Intermediate piano solo. He has the admirable ability of arranging the music to comfortably fit the hand, while the sound is full, and the effect is often "sounds harder than it is".

Piano Stylings of the Great Standards
Advanced Piano Solo
$19.95

Published by Ekay in conjunction with Steinway. No kidding.
Outstanding arrangements by some current heavy-hitters! Joyce DiCamillo, Preston Keys, Noreen Lienhard, Johnny Morris, edited by Edward Shanaphy, publisher of Piano Today magazine and editor in chief of Sheet Music Magazine, also head of Ekay Music Publishing.
Every song in this collection is presented in the original sheet music version, then presented in an advanced arrangement by the respective arranger.
Overall, these advanced arrangements are lush, with rich harmonies to support the clear melodic line. This is one of the best collections I have come across in terms of fresh arrangements, in a "crowd pleasing" style.
Very highly recommended. This is a Greatest Hits collection, well suited for the jazz player looking for new arrangements, or for the advanced classical player looking for some standards that are guaranteed to please the listeners. - RV
