Schmitz: Jazz Parnassus 6-Hands

Description

Whoever wants to learn how to "jazz things up" at the piano has been buying the "Jazz Parnassus" for ages now, Manfred Schmitz's standard work in several sections. But never a dull moment with six hands!

After bringing out the supplementary book for four hands, we are now releasing the last "Parnassus" collection, with 16 pieces for six hands. New arrangements of familiar pieces join forces with never-before-heard works from the pen of jazz instructor Schmitz, who died in 2014. The brief performance duration of these instrumental and audition pieces of medium difficulty, whose styles range from waltz to Gospel to swing, are wonderfully suited for group training. Thanks to the user-friendly design of the book with fold-out pages for the third part, the students always know exactly where they are.

"I am really impressed with the attention given to ensuring all the parts are worthwhile and enjoyable to play. The book is organized so that alternate pages fold out, allowing all three parts to be printed effectively alongside each other." (Andrew Eales, www.pianodao.com)
