I own several of Phillip Kevern's other Piano Solo books, and I am disappointed with this one. Many of the pieces in his other books are highly accessible and playable, but the pieces in this book are too difficult for me to play. For me the most difficult musical aspects of this book are the plethora of parallel octaves, fast arpeggios, the fast tuplets, some of the accidentals and some of the chords cannot fit in my hands.He is a great composer, but this book is definitely for a more appropriate for a moderately advanced player, and even then would take a great deal of practice to be playable.A year later:I have given this book another chance and I still have the same problem(s) with it. I realized that it wasn't just the difficult passages that were frustrating to me, but it was that every piece included some extremely difficult passage(s) that I couldn't overcome and play.
These are a bit more difficult than some of the other Keveren arrangements, but they sound great and a a bit longer than most of his things since they are medleys. I highly recommend them!
Beautiful. It is perfect for preludes, offertories or just for your enjoyment. Fast shipment and a good price. A book to recommend to others!
Wonderful piano arrangements me and my students can play for church. Love it!
