| Building Technique | |
| What pieces would you guys recommend from the classical works that help to build finger technique (Hopefully it would spill over to building jazz technique as well)? | |

| Three greats for jazz technic | |
| Bach's music will give to you absolute independence of hands. Chopin's piano works are the maximum in pianistic technic. Debussy's piano pieces are the richest in harmony. Search for their works and for all classical music at: www.classicalarchives.com If you get dominion in those three great composers, you will be a monster playing jazz piano. Good luck. ALBERTO | |

| Ravel/Hancock | |
| I was getting my weekend fix of DWEM music on UK Radio 3 when I heard Herbie Hancock's version of the second movement of Ravel's Piano Concerto in G. Separately, Ravel and Hancock are just about the best of their kind. Put them together and, to my ears, the result is a desperate, embarrassing mistake. I can't imagine what HH must have been thinking. Anyone heard it and disagree? Incidentally, this piece by Ravel (particularly the slow movement) could act as a kind of primer for piano jazz harmony, voicing and phrasing. It's one of the bridges between the classical world and Bill Evans. sid | |

| Hi Albertan, you mentioned Bach, Chopin, Debussy. What specific pieces from these composers?? Does Bach's Minuets apply?? I'm a "high beginner" piano player. (just to say something jeje). Thanks Hush | |

| Hi Hush: "Bach's music will give to you absolute independence of hands." All pieces in Ana Magdalena's Books... 2 voices inventions. The well tempered clavichord. "Chopin's piano works are the maximum in pianistic technique." Etudes. Preludes. "Debussy's piano pieces are the richest in harmony." Reverie. Arabesques. Mazurka. Clair de lune. Passepied. | |

| Starting over | |
| I studied classical music when i was much younger. Then of course we formed a rock band in high school and everything became much simpler. CHORDS. Lost my ability to read music. I am going to start practicing once again. Is there anything available in classical music form that will ease me back into it? I can still manage the right hand, it is the left where I often improvise. Thank you | |
