Piano Improvisation

PIANO IMPROVISATION by Dr. Cesar de la Cerda is a unique method that will help you with the harmonies and associated scales and it will facilitate you the free expression of your creativity. Improvisation is the art of creating music spontaneously when one is playing on an instrument. Its realization depends both on the technical skills as well as on the fantasy of the player. However, it is in the latter -i.e. in the spontaneous natural creativity-, where its true foundation lies. Improvisation, which can be created based on a given theme or depend only on the inventive imagination, has been present in musical practice since almost ancient times. However, in the 20th century, the improvisation got a leading role in jazz music and two forms emerged: on the one hand, the main melody was freely modified in its tonal, harmonic or rhythmic aspects, by distorting its original version, but maintaining it recognizable (known as "e;paraphrase"e;), and on the other, where one does without the melody using only its chords, giving place to a new and original musical expression ("e;chorus"e;). The achievement of this latter form of improvisation, having the piano as a basic instrument, is the main focus of this theoretical and practical instructional material. Its practice is not limited exclusively to jazz music, but it can be applied to other music types and in any form of free musical expression requiring it. The PIANO IMPROVISATION book will give you the impact you need to free yourself improvising in the piano. The book has many exercises and tips that will help you in an easy and modern way with the improvisation. More information visit: www.moderntonalharmony.com
