Re: Recorder Duet, Andantino

"Tonight" was written by Leonard Bernstein in 1956 for the Broadway musical, "West Side Story". It is a beautiful, soaring melody with very interesting tonality changes.

Can't Buy Me Love Duet
"Can't Buy Me Love" is a Beatles song, written in 1964 by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. This arrangement is not really a reduction of their performance, as John and Paul sing in unison, I believe...

Re: Harlem Nocturne Septet
Thank you very much, Walt. I truly appreciate the compliments. I do love this song. One of the things about the Clavinova voice that really tickles me is on the starting note, the low B on the...

Re: Harlem Nocturne Septet
Hi Walt,
Yes, the slurs in this instance are simply for phrasing. The arranger does not want to the soloist to sneak a breath within that phrase. It would be very disruptive to the flow of the...
