This book was released on 2017-03-26 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The object of this book has been to produce a collection of original pieces (composed by the author) which are both easy and satisfying to play. I hope I've succeeded. I certainly enjoy playing all of them. The 16 original compositions in this collection range from moderately easy to intermediate, but certainly not difficult. Although I have indicated this in the overview they are not featured in any particular order of how difficult they are. In relation to the Associated Board grades, I would rate these pieces at between grades 1 to 5. All except one have been written with a 'chord line' so that they can alternatively be played easily using an electronic keyboard with auto accompaniment. Additionally, many of the pieces can be played on a four or five octave keyboard. Listen Before you Buy. All of the pieces can be heard in the link in the free preview of this book, please listen to these before purchasing - if you don't like them you'll not have to bother buying it! But I think you'll like them!
Download or read book Classic Keys written by Alan S. Lenhoff and published by University of North Texas Press. This book was released on 2019-12-09 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classic Keys is a beautifully photographed and illustrated book focusing on the signature rock keyboard sounds of the 1950s to the early 1980s. It celebrates the Hammond B-3 organ, Rhodes and Wurlitzer electric pianos, the Vox Continental and Farfisa combo organs, the Hohner Clavinet, the Mellotron, the Minimoog and other famous and collectable instruments. From the earliest days of rock music, the role of keyboards has grown dramatically. Advancements in electronics created a crescendo of musical invention. In the thirty short years between 1950 and 1980, the rock keyboard went from being whatever down-on-its-luck piano awaited a band in a bar or concert hall to a portable digital orchestra. It made keyboards a centerpiece of the sound of many top rock bands, and a handful of them became icons of both sound and design. Their sounds live on: Digitally, in the memory chips of modern keyboards, and in their original form thanks to a growing group of musicians and collectors of many ages and nationalities. Classic Keys explores the sound, lore, and technology of these iconic instruments, including their place in the historical development of keyboard instruments, music, and the international keyboard instrument industry. Twelve significant instruments are presented as the chapter foundations, together with information about and comparisons with more than thirty-six others. Included are short profiles of modern musicians, composers, and others who collect, use, and prize these instruments years after they went out of production. Both authors are avid musicians, collect and restore vintage keyboards, and are well-known and respected in the international community of web forums devoted to these instruments.
