PIANO ARRANGEMENTS
The piano arrangements by Dr. Cesar de la Cerda are a didactic, complementary companion to the "Arranging for the Piano" methodology. You will find in these piano albums: classical compositions, songs of Latin-American cultural significance, as well as beautiful songs of international renown.
The performer will find contained within these arrangements, helpful re-harmonization ideas alongside their Roman numeral figures. An essential guide located in the appendix section of the book, called: THE SYMBOL INTERPRETATION GUIDE", which assists the performer in realization of the
figures, as well as in the development of their ideas.
The purpose of these piano arrangements is not only to illustrate to those performers of piano who seek practical applications of techniques contained within the book, "Arranging for the Piano"; but also after some study to approach the compositions in an entirely new and creative way. But first and foremost, the
ultimate goal is the aesthetic enjoyment of a modern and creative daily practice that will show you how modern tonal harmony works and also discover your own
musical creativity.
