Jazz Hands is a series of original jazz pieces for Piano by Mark Tanner which covers all standards from grade one through to red hot. Although the player may feel free to indulge in a spot of improvisation in response to the printed music there is no expectation to do so in any of the books. Nor are there any chord symbols or other bespoke abbreviations the like of which presuppose a degree of familiarity with the genre which may not actually be the case. Rather the idea is that the player will become gradually more confident and adept at playing in a jazz style as he/she works through the books. It may well be that a classically-trainedpianist has reached say grade 5 but feels currently at a more modest stage when tackling jazz. This is absolutely not a problem and indeed is all the more reason for the 'straight' player to extend their jazz skills to match.The title of this series 'Jazz Hands' derives from the familiar exuberant gesturing seen in music theatre fingers spread and extended with palms facing upwards an effect frequently amplified by a convulsive shivering of the hands. Cheerleaders have tended to make widespread use of jazz hands while the concept has also found its way into revues Broadway shows and films as well as contemporary dance. In the current context I am of course referring to the jazz pianist's hands which in only the most ambitiously spaced Art Tatum chord would require the player to stretch the digits to such an extent as in the aforementioned theatrical sense. The term 'jazz' has been adopted and adapted in a multiplicity of ways (not unlike 'classical' indeed) so that it no longer tells us very much about the music itself. Aficionados immediately recognise the better-known subgenres such as 'bebop' or 'New Orleans' styles and may even be able to distinguish 'smooth' from 'groove' or 'fusion/crossover' from 'postmodern'. And yet these are just labels not music. In an understandable bid to define all that we hear

Gregory Stone has transcribed these three selected preludes for one piano-four hands. For much of his life George Gershwin sought to integrate the worlds of jazz and classical music. These pieces are not jazz improvisations but they do show something of the style of his own playing. Gershwin had intended to compose a set of twelve a sort of jazz Wohltemperierte Clavier but his unexpected death from a brain tumour at the age of 38 prevented this. At least seven survive (others may have ended up as songs) and this set of three as published form a satisfying unit. The first opens with a blue-note riff which forms the basis of the first theme.Contrasting material follows making use of a distinctive repeated note figure then the first idea reappears in a quasi-orchestral climax. The second prelude shows a curious kinship with Chopin???s A minor Prelude with its eerie accompaniment and hypnotic melody. The third exploits a similar major/minor ambivalence but dextrous syncopation gives it driving rhythmic energy.

Version for Piano four-Hands-Grieg?s incidental music for Henrik Ibsen?s drama ?Peer Gynt? contains some of his best-known compositions such as ?Morning Mood? and ?In the hall of the Mountain King?.Grieg later extracted the most beautiful pieces to form two Orchestral suites and arranged himself these versions for Piano solo and Piano four-hands. There was a surprise in store for Henle when they werepreparing this Urtext edition. In the autograph and the first print run the second suite contained another movement the ?Dance of the Mountain King?s Daughter? which Grieg deleted shortly afterwards. Thischarming dance appears in the appendix to this edition printed again for the first time in 120 years! The Norwegian pianist and Grieg expert Einar Steen-Nøkleberg was co-editor for this edition and alsoprovided the new fingerings.

Each of these preludes is written on one to four pages and can be played separately. The first one is short to be played like a romance with chords only.
