West Side Story (Vocal Score) [Paperback] Review

If you're looking for a faithful translation from the full score, this is the one. This score is based on Bernstein latest revision as reflected in the Carreras Te Kanawa recording (1985).

But be warned, this score is only for upper-intermediate/advanced pianist, classically trained. It's not a fakebook, it's not a simplified/reduced piano score for casual use. The arrangement gives two alternatives for playing some part of the song, and you can choose to play it the hard way or the easier way (which is still rather difficult). The hard way is of course the most faithful to the orchestral score.

For example, the dance part in "America" can be played by using single notes of the left hands rather than using full chord, which is great if you're trying to cope with the tempo. The arrangement for the slow pieces such as "one hand one heart", "maria", "tonight", and "somewhere" is really beautiful.

Tip: Listen to the "west side story" conducted by Bernstein himself to get a grasp of the tempo, dynamics and phrasing.

Neil Young -- Complete Music, Vol 3: 1974-1979 (Piano/Vocal/Chords) (Neil Young Complete, 1974-1979) [Sheet music] Review

I love this book, but I think Volume I and particularly II are better music books. This book has some great stuff in it, including photos, and a little bio stuff, but it isn't as deep as either of the first two thus the 4 out of 5 star rating. But for any Neil Young Fan, this is one for the collection.

Neil Young: Greatest Hits (Piano/Vocal/Chords) [Paperback] Review

Some of the best Neil Young tunes here-in .....well-made with decent notation to fiddle around with my meager keyboard skills which equals hours of enjoyment.

While true Neil Young fans know his treasure-rich songwriting career encompasses many many fine tunes not in this collection, it's difficult to find much fault in these sixteen beauties. (I am lucky to have purchased both "On the Beach" and "Zuma" songbooks for piano/guitar when available in the 70's)

Greatist Hits starts with "Down by the River"; easy to hear the plaintive cry of lost love. But I also wonder if Neil's choices of chords/melody were a direct or otherwise influence when Pink Floyd's group effort "Breathe" came out a few years later? Inneresting, but as Neil says onstage, "It's all the same song!"

Well, if you like the music of Neil Young, buy this and mess around with the music (whether you can read notes on the music staff or not isn't critcal)to see which chords are played in first position, and which aren't. Listen carefully enough from the "way it sounds" vs.the recordings; then you can consider the songbook purchase a substitute for a few piano lessons and learn to pick out some great tunes.

Peachtree Road: Piano/Vocal/Guitar [Sheet music] Review

I simply love the album, Peachtree Road. This book does a great job laying out the chords for piano or guitar. If you are looking for a faithful representation of Elton John's work, this is it. I played along with the album for a lot of the album and so far every song is in the correct key.
