Summary of This Sheet Music
Like the great American standards, this collection highlights French songs that have become timeless, recognized for their melodic and harmonic richness. Based on the original themes, the authors offer a refined piano reinterpretation: reharmonizations, jazz colors, voice leading, and, depending on the pieces, written improvisation that helps integrate the language and stylistic turns without feeling left on your own.
The book is structured in two parts to suit different types of musicians. The first presents a solo piano version, designed for concert playing, working on touch, dynamics, phrasing, and fingerings. The second adopts a Real Book style presentation (melodies and American chord symbols), ideal for personalizing the interpretation, varying accompaniment, developing harmonic ear, and improvising with greater freedom.
This sheet music is aimed both at classical musicians curious to discover jazz sounds and guided improvisation, and at jazz musicians who will appreciate more "written" aspects (dynamics, articulations, voice leading). It will also suit bar pianists seeking renewed arrangements, as well as anyone wishing to build a solid repertoire of French songs. Content includes: Les Feuilles mortes, Nuages, La vie en rose, Petite Fleur, Le Jazz et la Java, C'est si bon, L'été 42, Que reste-t-il de nos amours, Un homme et une femme, Syracuse.
