Fazioli Grand Pianos
This book reveals the passion and expertise of those engaged in the construction of a unique and precious object destined for the world of art. Music critic Sandro Cappelletto tells the tale of a company that has been producing grand and concert pianos since 1981, when it was founded by Paolo Fazioli. Fazioli is therefore celebrating its fortieth anniversary in 2021. Passion for music and scientific skill, great craftsmanship, continuous technological research, and careful selection of materials are the necessary requirements for producing a Fazioli piano. The history of the company has been characterized by a crescendo of successes, from the first international exhibitions to acquisition by major global retailers, from sales at the world's most prestigious theaters to close collaborations with famous artists who have exclusively requested Fazioli pianos for their concerts. The great pianists Angela Hewitt and Maurizio Baglini offer their precious perspectives in this book through conversations with Sandro Cappelletto.
Julian Bream
Julian Bream is recognised as one of the world's leading guitarists, some would say the greatest. He was certainly for many years Britain's senior ambassador as a guitarist and lutenist, touring more widely and more frequently than almost any other artist in the international arena.Bream also did incomparable work in the recording studio to establish both the guitar and the lute as concert instruments. Not content with his unique status as a performer, however, Julian Bream has always been actively concerned with new music - commissioning works from a stream of leading contemporary composers.Surprisingly for a man of his international reputation, Julian Bream was his own secretary. He planned his own concerts, made his own travel arrangements, drove himself around, checked his own lighting and carried his own baggage. At the same time, he was an avid amateur cricketer and country gardener - growing his own fruit and vegetables all year round.In 1981 this intriguingly self-contained man agreed to share some of the load. Tony Palmer travelled with him in Europe and America over several months, drawing out from the essentially private Julian Bream his views on his art and on his position in the world of music. The result is Julian Bream: a Life on the Road, where the Maestro discusses the history of his beloved guitar and its role as a solo instrument, as well as his relationships with giants of contemporary music. With self-deprecating wit, he gives a unique insight into all that he then felt about his life on the road: where he was going, what good he believed he did, why he carried on, how he 'did it' - the guitar, the lute, touring, recording, commissioning, 'the old musicke racket', his home. Daniel Meadows accompanied them, and his beautiful photographs add to this unusual and exhilarating picture of a self-made man - who built, out of nothing, his own unrivalled status as a man of music.The re-publishing of Palmer's acclaimed book - for so long out-of-print and thus a much sought-after collector's item - will be welcomed by music lovers and guitar aficionados around the world.Praise for Julian Bream: A Life on the Road: 'An immensely revealing series of snapshots. I don't think I've ever heard a musician being so frank about what it means to make a life in music' - Nathalie Wheen, BBC'Immensely informative, conversational, light-hearted and intentionally deprecatory. Fascinating and extremely entertaining' - Classical Music Weekly'This book is a brilliant vindication of the craft of the interviewer. It's remarkably frank, warm and clear-headed about a man who has too few self-delusions for his comfort' - Michael Oliver, The Gramophone'There is no better account of what it is like to be a touring concert artist' - PunchTony Palmer is a British celebrated and multi-award-winning filmmaker, music journalist and author.

Hanon Piano / Keyboard Exercises 1 - 30
In this short book you will find condensed and simplified versions of the Hanon piano finger exercises 1 - 30 as well as the major, harmonic minor and melodic minor scales in every key (two octaves). What is Hanon? The 'Hanon Virtuoso Pianist' is a collection of piano finger exercises designed to give equal strength, agility and flexibility to all five fingers of both hands. Written by Charles-Louis Hanon in the 1800s, these exercises without doubt have become one of the most widely used techniques by today's pianists. In my opinion these are the best finger exercises available. One really great thing about these exercises is that they are applicable to both absolute beginners and advanced players alike, particularly as the reading ability required is minimal. Whatever your ability, these exercises will help improve your technique and finger strength. So why do I need this book? The whole point is to make it easy to read and to reduce page turns - less is more! In the full version the first 30 exercises take up fifty pages whereas here there are three exercises per page for the first 20, then two per page for the next 10, reducing the fifty pages to just twelve. I initially produced this for my own use only but figured that others may like to take advantage of what I've done. Does this mean that the print is just smaller? No, not at all. If you are familiar with these exercises you will know that they are repeated patterns which ascend and descend for two octaves diatonically. To condense and simplify them and consequently eliminate an enormous amount of page turns I have shown: the all-important fingering on the first pattern (as per the original); then the repeated second pattern; then 'changeover' patterns between ascending and descending - which are sometimes slightly different; then finally the last pattern of each exercise which again is often very slightly different. All of the exercises can be heard if required in the pdf version (a free link is given at the end of the book).
Vier Miniaturen op. 54
Die Miniaturen op. 54 vereinen vier kurze Klavierst羹cke unterschiedlichen Charakters, die sowohl als Lehrst羹cke wie auch zur Spielliteratur taugen. Sie sollten den Anspr羹chen einer breiten Mehrheit der musizierenden Bev繹lkerungsschichten ihrer Entstehungszeit gerecht werden, wobei der Komponist diesem Kalk羹l aber trotzdem nicht die Eigenheiten seines Personalstils opferte. Seine Miniaturen op. 54 wurden im Dezember 1898, im Februar und im April 1899 in Musikbeilagen einer p瓣dagogischen Tageszeitung ver繹ffentlicht, die seinerzeit weite Verbreitung fanden. Die Titel der vier Klavierst羹cke - "Einsamer Gang", "Walzer-Capriccietto", "Meeresabend" und "Mazurka" - klingen in der Musik an: es sind echt empfundene Charakterst羹cke, die auch heutige Musizierende ansprechen und eine gute Bereicherung des Repertoires darstellen.

Fender 75 Years
Ubiquitous in the music world, Fender(R) guitars and amplifiers are also icons in popular culture, their shapes and sounds instantly recognizable. Authoritatively written and lavishly illustrated, Fender 75 Years is the officially licensed anniversary celebration of the company and its legendary instruments. Originating in Leo Fender's modest radio and amplifier repair shop in Fullerton, California, Fender Musical Instrument Corporation went on to become the world's preeminent name in musical instruments. Today, Fender's guitars, amplifiers, and script logo are recognizable even to those with only a casual interest in music. From Fender's first instrument--a 1946 lap steel guitar--to Leo Fender's groundbreaking early six-string guitar designs like the Esquire that set the standard for the electric guitar explosion to follow, author Dave Hunter traces Fender's entire history to the present. All the innovations and landmark models are here, as well as legendary players who became synonymous with Fender instruments across musical genres. In addition to the instantly recognizable Telecaster(R) and Stratocaster(R), Hunter examines Fender's legendary offset guitars like the Mustang(R), Jazzmaster(R), and Jaguar(R), and such lesser-known models as the Coronado, Bronco(TM), and more. The Jazz Bass(R)and Precision Bass(R) also feature, as do Fender's acoustic guitars and workhorse amplifiers like the Bassman(R), Twin Reverb(R), and Princeton(R), to name a few. Along the way, readers get in-depth scoops on the relationships dozens of players have enjoyed with Fender: rock 'n' roll pioneers like Hank Marvin and James Burton; classic-rock icons like Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton; blues legends Bonnie Raitt, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Buddy Guy; alt-rock gods J Mascis and Kurt Cobain; more recent guitar heroes like Courtney Barnett, beabadoobee, and H.E.R. ...the list goes on. In addition, Hunter explores the work of the award-winning Fender Custom Shop and the guitars produced there. Illustrated throughout with rare images from company archives, Fender 75 Years treats readers to rare behind-the-scenes views of the shop floor throughout the years, studio imagery of the guitars, rare period advertising and brochures, and performance images of Fender players. It's the definitive look at the Fender's first three-quarters of a century and a must-have for every guitar enthusiast.

In the Guitarlele Blues Mastery book you are going to learn how to play all styles of Blues Rhythm, Blues Fingerstyle, and Blues Picking on this wonderful six-string instrument called the guitarlele.

Before we jump into the contents of the Guitarlele Blues Mastery book, let's break down the guitarlele. The guitarlele, also known as the guilele or guitalele, is a 6-string ukulele that is tuned (from low to high) A-D-G-C-E-A. Strings 1-4 (G-C-E-A) are the same as a ukulele, but the guitarlele adds the low D and A strings. Guitarleles typically come in two sizes, the tenor (17-inch scale length) and the baritone (20-inch scale length). Scale length is the measurement from the inside of the nut to the inside of the saddle. Some of the top guitarleles are made by KoAloha, Kanilea, Romero Creations, Kala, and Ohana. Although you could play everything in this book on the guitar (E-A-D-G-B-E), the tuning would not match the audio backing tracks that are included with this book. Nor would the tuning match the complete video course of all these lessons that is sold separately at the Uke Like The Pros website. The Uke Like The Pros Guitarlele Blues Mastery book is a step-by-step introduction to the Blues, which means each lesson will build upon the next, so that you develop the proper techniques and confidence you need to become a Blues Master. One of the key concepts in this book is understanding the difference between Swing and Straight Feel. This is extremely important to not only understand the differences, but to be able to execute flawlessly, the two styles. Blues Swing is the primary style you hear in the Blues Shuffle, Boogie Woogie, Jazz Blues, and Slow Blues. Straight Blues is a faster, more driving style that you'll hear in Blues Rock (like Chuck Berry), Jump Blues, and Country Blues. Don't worry if you don't understand this concept right now; you will by the time you are done with the Guitarlele Blues Mastery book by Terry Carter. Although the Guitarlele Blues Mastery book will focus on understanding the different styles of Blues through rhythm, it does explore other topics that I know you are interested in, such as Fingerstyle Blues, Blues Scales, and the Blues Solo. The Guitarlele Blues Mastery book is the most comprehensive book on Guitarlele and is written by Terry Carter, the leader in the Guitarlele world, youtube.com/ukelikethepros. Whether you are a beginner at the Blues, or a seasoned veteran, the Guitarlele Blues Mastery book is going to take you deep into the world of the Blues, and you will come out a better, more confident guitarlele player, who will be ready to tackle the world.

Alle Akkorde sind so angegeben, dass man zum Original mitspielen kann, also in der Original-Tonart- und Tonlage. Zu jedem der 100 Titel gibt es ein sogenanntes Gitarren-Playback als MP3. Diese Playbacks sind wie eine Band im Hintergrund - mit Drums, Keyboard, Bass etc., so dass man nur noch den Gesang und das Gitarrenspiel erg瓣nzen muss. Tonart und Tonlage der Playbacks sind so, wie der jeweilige Originalsong. Die Playbacks werden online in Form von 2 Datei-Ordnern a 50 Titel gesendet. Die MP3`s lassen sich einfach herunterladen und speichern. So hat man Tempo und Rhythmus des jeweiligen Songs gleich mit dabei - besser zum ?ben bzw. Nachspielen. Dazu bitte gleich nach dem Kauf oder Erhalt des Buches eine Mail an die E-Mail-Adresse senden, die im Impressum des Buches angegeben ist! Falls der eine oder andere Song im Original nicht mehr ganz so gel瓣ufig sein sollte, k繹nnen auf Wunsch auch gleich alle Originale in Form von 2 Ordnern a 50 Titel mit gesendet werden. Eine Tabelle mit Schablonen f羹r Barr癡 - Griffe ist im Buch enthalten. Viel Spa? beim Nachspielen der Songs !
