Many students lead an independent musical life apart from their normal piano lessons; they play jazz or pop music and make some attempts at improvisation without it being possible for the teacher to intervene and to supervise matters of technique, fingering , phrasing etc. The purpose of this volume is to create an additional link between teacher and pupil by making avaliable some small exercises in current jazz and blues styles. An additional stimulus should thus be given to the pupil who has a liking for musical forms of this kind, but not at the expense of the teacher's supervision of the necessary technicalside of piano playing. A hort holiday from Classical sonatinas and studies should help him to get over a time of boredom, so that he will eventually return to tratitional material with even greater enthusiasm. And in several pieces there is an opportunity to improvise above the harmonic pattern in the left hand. Blues-Rock Number one * Funny Scales * Mixolydian Etude * Alberti-Blues * Triads * Blue Waltz * Zirkus-Rag * 5/4 Boogie * Daddy's Bop Rhythm * Sleep Well Blues.

Overcoming the boundaries between 'serious' and entertaining music was what mattered to the musician Eduard Pütz (1911-2000). His compositions therefore include stylistic features of jazz and pop music. Many of his works were written for children and young instrumentalists to offer them a break from the monotony of classical sonatinas and studies. 'Blue Waltz' is such a treat - very easy to play, it also exposes the player to jazz sounds. The arrangement for accompanied melodic instrument is also suitable for beginner's lessons and beginning ensemble playing.
