“Renaissance Man”C5 has a diatonic melody, with some double stops, and at letter B, a somewhat more linear bass line. If this tune is played faster, or is beyond the ability of the player, it might be advisable to leave out certain aspects of this piece—a strategic order could be as follows: a) leave out double stops in the melody, b) leave out double stops in the left hand, c) play bass notes from chord symbols only.Keeping the melody going in most cases could be the last line of defence for a sight reader. In the case of an accompanist, perhaps the time feel expressed through a chord line might be the most crucial aspect to keep going.

Copyright © 2018 Charles Austin - 23 -

“A C. and W. Conversation” G4 utilizes the notes of a G pentatonic scale i.e. G—A—B—D—E. Look out for the key signature (F#). The main task, apart from handling the wide melodic range, is to read ahead and keep up with the string of notes presented. This piece could be rendered simpler by reducing the left hand accompaniment to half note or whole note triads. In the sixth and seventh bars of letter A, D7 will effectively cover those bars in a reduced harmonic form (C/E is a passing chord). Have fun with this one too.

D7 Db7 C7

Copyright © 2018 Charles Austin - 93 -

C11 is a twelve bar blues form which features harmonic tension and release with the tritone substitute V7 chord i.e. C7 to Db7 to C7 etc. Bars seven, eight, nine feature lower neighbour approach chords (Ab7to A7) and tritone substitution (A7 to Eb7 to D7 etc.). Another feature is the inclusion of grace notes from above and below (note that the Gb grace note approaches from above the target and F# approaches from below the target). Be sure to play the marked articulation.

"Rock Kin"Bb14 features a Mambo-like motivic rhythm in a half-time swing feel. Look for an offset hand-to-hand pattern in the first ending. In the two bars before the D.C. note the brackets around the first and third beats inthe right hand—this indicates that these beats are "ghosted" and are transparent, and should be played softer.Note that in these same measures that beats 2 and 4 are accented. The ghosting of beats one and three serves tohighlight the accents on beats two and four.

B13 features a 24 bar blues form in a New Orleans two-step style. The left hand features a shifting seventh chord pattern which juxtaposes major and minor thirds i.e. B7(#9)—(D# is major three), and D7 (D natural is the minor third of B). In the right hand the melody is largely drawn from the “minor blues scale” (I, b3, four, #four, 5, and b7) with some passing tones to either link the melody or to accommodate passing chords.

Eb96

Copyright © 2018 Charles Austin - 138 -

Eb6 is a jazz waltz which through a L'stesso action becomes a swing four piece at letter C. The jazz waltz feel easily divides the bar into two dotted quarter notes which in swing jazz feel are not quite equal in time since the swing feel essentially subdivides each quarter note into three triplet eighths. Because the second dotted quarter falls on the last triplet eighth of the second beat it is therefore somewhat shorter than the first dotted quarter of the bar. The challenge here is to feel the dotted quarters in the bar before letter C as equal thereby setting up the feel for the swing four which has itself a new set of subdivisions. Note that this piece makes these changes gradually to facilitate the L'stesso device used.

D.C. al Fine

- 20 - © 2018 Charles Austin

F#7 features open voiced primary (I, IV, and V) triads to produce an open, “gong-like” harmonic melody. This would be a lot easier to play in the key of C—be careful of the key signature. Notice that the chord symbols are quite general with no indication of polychords or inversions i.e. F#/A# etc.

F#8 features some layering—look for a jump in the right hand from bar three to bar four in section A (use the damper pedal to mask the motion).

Cb6 has some fingering difficulties between the hands i.e. 121212 etc. in the right hand while in the left hand using the oposite: 21212121 takes some working out—but should be worth the effort.
