Contempo explores seven contrasting contemporary styles through original piano solos written for the intermediate pianist. Jazz, ballad, Celtic, pop, rhythm & blues, soundtrack, and rock influences give each piece its own rhythmic character, harmonic language, and sound world. As you play, listen for the elements that define each style—the groove, articulation, phrasing, harmony, and use of the piano’s full range of color. Titles: Fusion Vibe (Jazz) * When the City Falls Away (Ballad) * Heatherstorm (Celtic) * Along the Way to Love (Pop) * Soul Groove (Rythm & Blues) * Softshoe Sonatina (Ballroom) * A Cinema Scene (Rock)
