Summary of This Book
This "Purple Book" offers a wonderful variety of piano solos, gathered in a generous collection of forty-nine pieces. The goal is clear: to provide the intermediate pianist with a unique collection that spans eras and genres, featuring instantly recognizable and rewarding pieces to play.
You will find jazz standards and iconic themes from the American repertoire (rich harmonies, singing phrasing, typical accompaniments), as well as showtunes from musical theater, perfect for working on voice leading and storytelling at the keyboard. The collection also highlights classic blues, ideal for refining rhythmic placement, accents, and chord color.
Regarding major themes, the selection emphasizes film music and songs that have become essential, with pieces conducive to developing expressiveness (rubato, dynamics, pedal) and endurance in sound sustain. The classical repertoire is not forgotten: you can alternate between famous pages by Mozart, Beethoven, Satie, Liszt, Borodin, Scriabin, or Purcell, then return to more pop and jazz atmospheres.
In summary, this is a piano solo collection designed to vary pleasures, enrich your musical culture, and provide a versatile repertoire, equally suitable for playing at home, auditions, or musical moments with friends.
