PDFs of "Carolina Shout" & "Handful of Keys"
according to mr schwartz, these are the real deal.
when i opened the abovementioned midi files in my notation software these beautiful (and extremely important) historical masterpieces' secrets were laid bare.
however, i chose a relatively high quantization resolution. as a consequence these scores are not rhythmically exact reproductions of that which is being played in the respective midi files.
for this reason, i recommend that these pdf scores only be used in conjunction with the midi files.
if you open the midi files in the vanbasco player (free at https://www.vanbasco.com ) you can see the pieces being played on the virtual piano keyboard. the vanbasco player comes with tempo change capabilities, so slow the piece down and using your eyes and ears follow along.
should you have any questions as to exactly what notes are being played, refer to your pdf printout.
why, you might ask, did i choose the lower resolution for the pdf files? simply to make them more easily readable.
the compromise is that some of the rhythmic nuances have been lost but all the notes are there!
historically these pieces have been mandatory for every true jazz pianist to be familiar with. and so, in the interests of perpetuating interest in stride piano and insuring that your jazz piano education is complete, i have taken the time to make these materials available to the jazz piano community in the very most accessible and digestible of formats - midi audio with visual virtual piano (courtesy of vanbasco) coupled with a printable score (courtesy of me).
and once again on behalf of all that will take the time to benefit from these files - thank you irwin schwartz for such excellent performances of these stride classics!!!
