Schott Music Klezmer Piano Collection

With Klezmer Piano Collection Julian Rowlands presents a new volume in the Schott World Music series. Klezmer enthusiasts will find here 22 pieces of Jewish folk music. This was originally played primarily at weddings, joyous religious festivals, and for synagogue dedications. The pieces can be interpreted by solo pianists as well as in various instrumentations.

In addition to the extensive collection of melodies, the book also contains general information on klezmer music such as scales, keys, forms, as well as style notes. Since the pieces are arranged in a moderately difficult way, they are especially suitable for advanced players, who can even work creatively with this book by adding their own embellishments and improvisations. Technical warm-up exercises, based on klezmer scales, provide optimal preparation for the playing material.

The edition is rounded out with full versions of all pieces and playalongs for a great sound experience.
