Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Pianist Corner Antonin Dvorak: Jazz Studies for Piano?

Anybody know about this music? I just happened to come across this online. Dvorak and Jazz? Seriously? I'm going to post this in the jazz section, too. But I am a classically oriented pianist so I am asking here.

A quick google search reveals: The jazz etudes are by a Milan Dvorak, not Antonin Dvorak.

I'd be as intrigued by a "New Age Jazz World Symphony" or "Dumky Jazz Piano Trio" as anyone else, but alas, it did not happen.

Thanks. That makes more sense. Although it IS listed by Antonin (sheetmusicplus).

Sheet Music Plus does that sometimes. Seymour Schifrin's and Susan Schifrin's music gets mixed up, even though they are completely different genres. (I went to college with Seymour Schifrin's son, and I have tuned for a show with Susan Schifrin's husband.)

Music publisher's do not always identify composers well enough to make distinctions, so the blame may be partially theirs.

What both amuses me and irks me at the same time is the caveat with every detailed description of piano music on SheetMusicPlus is : " (does not include words to the songs)" This, for example, is taken from SMP's description of the Henle edition of Book I of Bach's WTC!

I mean : who knew?!

Gounod knew, at least for the first prelude.

Do you think sheetmusicplus did that for Mendelssohnn's Songs without Words??

Ha Ha.
