First Book of the Music of Franz Liszt

Piano Sheet Music

Here is the best-known sonata of the best-known composer of sonatas, the "Moonlight" of Beethoven. This edition is distinguished by several unique features. First, the page turns are set up for maximum ease and continuity of playing. Second, extended arpeggios are labeled with the symbol of the chord being arpeggiated. Third, the 2nd movement, which is often compressed onto one page, is here presented as TWO facing pages, for much greater ease in reading and playing from the score.
The Presto 3rd mvnt. has the only note edits. The fast Alberti figures in the right hand are changed to an alternating of two notes rather than three. Beethoven himself uses this very figure later in the piece. We have applied it throughout. The diminished-chord arpeggios at the apex of the piece are often presented as a jumble of extended slurs and ties. We here show only the attacks, for an excellent view of the actual NOTES,and when they begin, as opposed to the detailed view of how long they should last, since players use the sustain pedal for this passage in any case. 
The rolled 10th/5th passages in the melody have been changed to an octave and a fifth, for better ease at speed. ALSO, there is no turning back, literally, as the repeats in the 3rd movement are written out, so it is Full Page Turns Ahead! This greatly facilitates playing from either the printed or e-score. Priced to be affordable, formatted for maximum convenience, and tweaked EVER so slightly so as to make this masterwork, by turns moody, charming, and ferocious, playable, readable and enjoyable for as many pianists as possible!

Sonata Op.27, No.2 in C# minor "Moonlight"

Here is a concert-length, first position string orchestra piece with a variety of different textures. Sixths in the accompanying voices, staccato three-note groups, triplets under a duple melody, and a small transitional section all come before the grand finish. All these elements make this piece suitable programming for any high school or community orchestra. Duration - 5:30.

Intermezzo in E minor for String Orchestra

String Orchestra Score & Parts

A NEW version of an old favorite, with THREE important changes. ALL the exercises are now 100% symmetrical, giving the same fingers on each hand the same work, up and down. Secondly, all the studies are TRANSPOSED to all 12 keys, just like they used to do in the Russian Conservatory back in the days of Anton Rubenstein and Rachmaninoff. Thirdly, the instructions are now updated to reflect the most modern bio-mechanics of piano-playing, as espoused by Georgy Sandor and others. � �Play them in any register, high or low. All exercises are one octave up and back down. R.H.fingerings above, L.H. below the music. Parts Two and Three are also available, with the same editorial changes.

Expanded Hanon #1

Ensemble

A clear and concise setting of this Baroque keyboard classic. Music which often appears as pickups now is shown on the downbeat, and the endings on the last beat, as the modern ear perceives them. All original notes. Clear groupings of 8ths, 16ths and triplets. Medium level.

Harmonious Blacksmith Variations

Piano Solo

Here is Ravel's swirling orchestral masterwork edited and arranged for the average hand and technique from the composer's own piano reduction.  Many respellings to facilitate harmonic awareness and readability. Some octave displacements. Duration:  16-18 minutes.

La Valse

Three was the literal magic number for some people in France at the run of the previous century. So, Satie often wrote pieces in groups of three. Pictures are genuine children's music, being all five-finger position pieces on the white keys. �The Gymnopedies and Gnossiennes are well-known intermediate-level repertoire. Our edition makes the bar lines clear, and shows L and R hands clearly, no guesswork! The Next-to-Last Thoughts are modern music, in the abstract or dissonant sense, yet are not hard to play and understand. The Three Nocturnes are artist-level repertoire, with wider spans and leaps, and lots of chromaticism. This book has something for every aspect of a player's development from elementary, through intermediate, to advanced levels, all in one book from one composer, and all arranged with 100% original notes put into an easy-to-read and play format, Satie's comic comments in the music are included in English translation. All two-page pieces face each other, so there are as few pageturns within a piece as possible.

Name That Child SAB Choir Piano Accomp. ONLY

Here is an Art Blakey Jazz Messengers-style hard-bop tune a riff blues with a bop bridge for medium-advanced jazz ensemble. The main melody contains 16th-note triplets for trumpets and then trombones with the drums playing along and the 1st and 2nd trpts and t-bones play A's and Ab's in unison. SampleSolos are provided for the trumpet and tenor sax on a split chorus and trombone as well. The 2nd alto solos no sample just changes. A sax soli in the beginning and at the end on the bridge makes for nice harmony in motion. Backgrounds for all solos. Most parts two pages. ALL band parts are printed as single-sided single pages to facilitate the making of a fair use or archival copy as is common practise. You get to decide the layout that is best for you band. NEVER a D.S from the end to some place inside the chart as ALL GateWay Jazz charts are straight-through with repeats confined to a single page.

Lament for a Black Sedan

Jazz Ensemble Score & Parts

Al Groth's collected wit and wisdom about the jam session scene, and blues music, as it relates to reed and brass players. The focus is on an interpersonal musician-to-musician approach, so as to get noticed by people who are often inclined to be blase' or skeptical, and of course, mastering the materials, especially the keys, that guitars play in. Advice, and musical materials from a seasoned jammer and blues soloist.

Playing Out, The Fast track

Flexible Instrumentation Jazz Study

The two most commonly used teaching or preparatory sonatas of the Beethoven oeuvre. Reset here, with NO fingerings or dynamics, as per the original. The rhythms of the 2nd Mvnt. of Sonata No.1 in G min have been doubled, so as to better see the flow of the phrases. No clef changes in the middle of ANY measure. Page turns made as convenient as can be, for ease of playing from the score. Budget-priced to be attractive to students and teachers alike. All original notes of Beethoven's needless to say!

Beethoven 2 Sonatas Op. 49

A full-length, authentic reproduction of the string trio score, with continuo.  No extra pianistic bravura, just the melody in all its sweetness, and an accompaniment that does not distract from the tune and its piquant dissonances.  All 28 repetitions of the canon are represented.  Medium level, suitable for any recital, or performance at any of the usual social functions this piece is often used for.

Pachelbel Canon in D

The complete full-length suite in the original keys, with 95% original notes. Some passages edited for range, reduced harmonic spans in either hand, some octave leaps reduced to low-high note movements. Some metric changes in time signatures for better clarity of the underlying pulse. Lots of respellings to avoid the plethora of double flats and sharps; original spellings are retained where a chord progression requires it, such as a D-sharp 7 in the key of G-sharp minor. Some nonsymmetrical or awkward chords are revoiced for easier leaps in contrary motion. Sounds like a lot of changes, yet some of these same changes can be heard and seen on CDs and DVDs by well-known artists. The audio sample is of the piece Les Tuileries and is edited in much the same fashion as Lovo Pogerelich has done on his own Pictures DVD. A new urtext edition was used as the main source. Difficult at fast tempos, the spans and leaps that remain can be negotiated more easily at slower speeds. Bound for the best possible page turns. All the tremolandos and trills are written out for complete and explicit security for each musical gesture.

Pictures at an Exhibition

Here is the classic evocation of childhood a-la Francois as opposed to the German (Schumann) or the Russian (Tschaikowsky). Includes: Dr. Gradus; Jimbo Serenade for the Doll (one of Horowitz's favorite pieces);  Snow is Dancing;  Shepherd; and Golliwog.

Children's Corner

A different approach to learning inversions. The root position triad is followed by the first inversion UP then BACK to the root position. Second inversion then goes DOWN from root position and does NOT continue UP from first inversion. This clarifies each inversion's relationship to root position and makes the concept of moving the Bottom note to the Top of the chord for 1st inversion and moving the Top note to even though they ALL finger the same to make that point clear as well. �

The Best Book of Chords and Their Inversions

All of the piano music of Tschaikowsky written for children to play, unlike Schumann's Scenes from Childhood, and his Album for the Young, which are another level up in difficulty. All pieces original keys, full-length. The layout and typesetting are designed to make sure that the score Looks like it Sounds. As few extraneous or miniscule markings as possible. Some respellings, doubling of rhythms, and some re-distribution of notes from hand to hand.

Album for the Young

The Famous D minor, not the lesser-known F. As faithful a transcription as the single keyboard will allow, without extra pianistic embellishments. Not a derivation from other piano versions. Medium level at tempo indicated, college-level at faster tempos.

Toccata and Fugue in D Minor

A rousing treatment of the classic march, arranged so the average hand and technique can sound like Maestro Horowitz's famed encore piano solo version! �Octaves, wide range of L and R hands, loud dynamic. Advanced, but not virtuostic. Original key, full-length.

The Stars and Stripes Forever

Each major key is taken in turn, and given a tune and accompaniment that is distinct and identifiable. A variety of time signatures are used as well, from common time to 15/8, and lots in between! Many keys have either a scalar, symmetrical, percussive, or arpeggio advantage built into their keyboard topography, which is the basis for some of the melodic and harmonic writing. Audio is of the first one, in C Major, why not! Each piece is three pages, with only ONE pageturn per tune. Enjoy! MBB email to michaelb-b@sbcglobal.net
