POPVIRUS composer Axel Schwarz on the loose
For years Axel Schwarz has been part of the POPVIRUS composer team + has established himself in countless TV formats with his PIANO STORIES series. To introduce his music to a larger audience Axel has selected 12 songs from his PIANO STORIES series + published them in a piano book in cooperation with the book publisher Hal Leonard/ Bosworth as a piano school plus playalongs:
12 SONGS WITHOUT WORDS - AXEL SCHWARZ
PLAY 12 SONGS FOR PIANO
UNDERSTAND WHY THEY SOUND THE WAY THEY DO
THEN COMPOSE THEM YOURSELF
including playbacks online as download or stream
12 SONGS WITHOUT WORDS for piano are for listening + playing yourself to a playalong. The atmospheric pieces in neoclassical style look like film music. What makes this book different from others? The listener can get to the secret of why the pieces sound this way, learn the tricks + the techniques. There is an explanation of exactly that for each of the songs:
What is the compositional background?
What music theory themes are at work here?
Which tricks + techniques create the musical effect?
We keep all fingers crossed for Axel Schwarz. By the way: the perfect Christmas present. It's never too late to learn an instrument.
