Summary of This Sheet Music
This collection offers 20 Bossa Nova standards for solo piano with chord symbols, perfect for capturing the Brazilian color (syncopations, smooth groove, rich harmonies) while maintaining clear and musical notation. The chord charts help you analyze harmonic progressions, develop your extensions (7th, 9th, 13th), and build your own left-hand accompaniments or right-hand chord lines.
The selection covers the great classics of the genre and themes that have become essentials in jazz and Latin piano: So Nice (Summer Samba) [Valle, Marcos] [Valle, Paulo Sergio], Call Me [Hatch, Tony], The Girl From Ipanema (Garota De Ipanema) [Jobim, Antonio Carlos], How Insensitive (Insensatez) [Jobim, Antonio Carlos], A Man And A Woman (Un Homme Et Une Femme) [Lai, Francis], Watch What Happens (The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg) [Legrand, Michel], Estate [Martino, Bruno], Only Trust Your Heart [Carter, Benny] [Cahn, Sammy], Água De Beber (Water To Drink) [Jobim, Antonio Carlos], Little Boat [Menescal, Roberto], Menina Flor [Bonfa, Luiz], Meditation (Meditacao) [Jobim, Antonio Carlos] [Mendonca, Newton] [Gimbel, Norman], Bim-Bom [Gilberto, Joao], Águas De Março (Waters Of March) [Jobim, Antonio Carlos], Bossa Antigua [Desmond, Paul], Lonely Girl (Harlow) [Hefti, Neal], O Pato (The Duck) [Silva, Jayme] [Teixiera, Neuza], Wave [Jobim, Antonio Carlos], Corcovado (Quiet Nights Of Quiet Stars) (Jobim). An excellent resource to work on touch, rhythmic placement, and interpretation, while strengthening your harmonic reflexes at the piano.
