“How to make friends at the keyboard” might be the series title for Mike Cornick’s albums for 5 or 6 hands at one Piano! In this latest volume 4 Afro-Caribbean Pieces For 6 Hands Mike Cornick offers three traditional pieces “Jamaica Farewell” “Mary Anne” and “Yellow Bird” plus a piece of his own which perfectly captures the stylistic mannerisms of this very musical region. Cornick has suggested fingerings to help avoid the collisions inevitable with three players at one keyboard but he adds “it’s all part of the fun”! The second andterzo parts can be downloaded (free of charge) from the publisher’s website to aid private practice. These multi-hand pieces make great concert pieces especially as encores and you could also try: 5 Pieces for 5 Left Hands (UE21711) or 4 Afro-Caribbean Songs for 5 Right Hands (UE21649) as well as several other volumes for the more conventional six hands.

Cornick adds another sampling of Caribbean and original pieces to this underserved repertoire. With three pianists spanning a single bench, Cornick has thoughtfully provided fingering that should avoid any unnecessary collisions on the keyboard. Pianists of intermediate skills will enjoy performing these pieces in recital or the family living room. Also available: 4 Afro-Caribbean Pieces for 6 Hands at 1 Piano (UE021746), at normal discount.
