Complete Works For Solo Piano
Here is a book you will play and enjoy again and again. From his piano came more instrumental hits than from any other American composer… Blue Tango, The Syncopated Clock, Sleigh Ride, the beautiful Serenata, and so many more. And what wonderful pieces for the piano they have become in his adept hands! Here are 38 of his orchestral compositions lovingly transcribed for solo piano by the composer himself. In fact, many of the pieces, like the haunting Forgotten Dreams was originally composed for piano and orchestra. This 184-page collection is simply brimming with sparkling, melodic and fun-filled pieces such as the whimsical The Typewriter, (complete with the little bell that rings), the bouncy hit Bugler’s Holiday depicting what military buglers might play on their day off, such elegant waltzes as The Waltzing Cat, Summer Skies, Song Of The Bells, the captivating Sandpaper Ballet, and from the musical “Goldilocks,” the Viennese-styled waltz, Lady In Waiting.

His compositions are still played and enjoyed the world over, including his familiar Boston Pops hits Trumpeter’s Lullaby, Fiddle-Faddle, Horse and Buggy, The Girl In Satin (a tango that he felt was as beautiful as his Blue Tango), The Penny-Whistle Song, Jazz Pizzicato, and so many more. These pieces become such fun to play when you imagine that your piano is an orchestra!…the left hand being the cellos, trombones and tubas, the right hand the woodwinds, trumpets and violins. It is a complete piano book in many respects, perfect for improving technique and reading too!

It’s a book like this that makes us so glad to be piano players!
