Contrasts in Blue

SKU: BR.OB-3281-30

ISBN 9790004301371. 10 x 12.5 inches.

The Blue Danube is said to be Austria's secret anthem, and alongside the Radetzky March it is the traditional encore piece at the annual New Year's Concert of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Already at its world premiere in 1867, this orchestral work triggered overwhelming enthusiasm, and the premiere of the choral version prompted a journalist to use the term Schlager (hit) for the first time in music history. The official title By the Beautiful Blue Danube is based on poems by Karl Isidor Becks; having his birth town Baja in mind, he contrasted the blue Danube with another river, the blonde Theiss. How utterly astonishing that this famous waltz is not really linked to Vienna. Be that as it may, its sensational popularity remains unimpaired.

These seven piano pieces, of intermediate difficulty, represent different aspects of the twelve-bar blues structure, which originated in the southern states of the USA in the mid 19th century. Each is based on the twelve-bar blues chord sequence, but responds to it in a different way, with stylistic references to the past as well as the present, providing a contrasting set of pieces which can be played as a group or individually. The fingering markings are suggestions only, and may be adapted as required.

This is the time of year when major dance and carnival-like competitions take place, and energetic dance troupes in colorful dress dance and march through the streets. An improvised solo section is included.
