“I love Mark Hayes’ piano arrangements, but they are just too difficult for me to play in public.” If you have thought or even offered that sentiment, Mark Hayes has a wonderful gift for you! The artistry, the emotion, the stylistic variety and musical interest—all are present in this, the first volume in this series that’s been created with the intermediate skills of an emerging pianist firmly in mind. The arrangements sound difficult, but are easy to play. There are lush, rich chords with fewer notes in each hand.The listeners will both enjoy and be inspired by the unmistakable Mark Hayes touch, and only you will know or appreciate these carefully crafted, easier arrangements for their modest technical demands. Each arrangement is three minutes or less, meaning fewer pages to turn. There are no chords that require a large hand spread-anything over an octave may be rolled. This collection contains the same great harmonies, modulations and rhythm that appear in Mark’s advanced music, just made simpler. This is a perfect repertoire for young pianists or for those with limited practice time. LEVEL: Intermediate
