MARTHA MIER
Revisit the classical melodies found in this collection and experience them in very
different and exciting settings! In Classical Jazz, Rage & Blues, Book Two, familiar
melodies from piano literature, opera and orchestral repertoire are arranged In Jazz
styles, including ragtime and blues. Students who previously have learned come of
these gems will love to revisit them in new styles. Those students playing these
pleces for the first time will become familiar with these wonderful melodies.
Ibis my hope that students will enjoy playing these arrangements and gain a greater
appreciation for these timeless classical themes.
