This collection contains twelve lay arrangements for piano with the lyrics printed at the finish Songs from the '20s, '30 and '40 exhibit collaboration with lyricists Oscar Hammerstein II, Ira Gershwin and others. a certain songs are from well-known musicals like as Show Boat and Roberta, others being smaller known. Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man, Ol' Man River, steam Gets in Your Eyes and All the Things You Are are among the anthems included. There is a variety of tempos

The original harmony is retained in a thin make Left-hand accompaniment patterns are chiefly arpeggiated chords confined to individual octave, with occasional finger pedaling and octaves in either hand. The arrangements are similar to those in the Reader's Digest collections, on the contrary thinner.

Ol'Man River would appeal to striplings ages 10-14, sounding more difficult than it is with a nice climactic ending, whereas effluvium Gets in Your Eyes is a extremely lyrical, tasteful and linearly moving arrangement.

There is great clarity in the music's layout and editing. Wide spacing for psychological and physical benefit makes the reading easier--four measures through line and four scores by page. Fingering is given where hand position shifts are required, forward chromatic lines and on first beats of measures where a recent phrase begins. Slower readers actually might elect that the finger number coincide with the pick-up note in succession which the phrase actually begins.

These pieces would appeal to an older generation of recreational pianists and are practical for informal recitals, sight reading for pleasure and professional musicians who are seeking an acquaintance with older popular music and who might perform them with their avow embellishment for anniversary parties and family gatherings.
