Pop Songs in a Classical Style

Description

What would composers such as Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy, or Rachmaninoff have done if they had arranged “Dust in the Wind” for solo piano? Would Bach have penned a prelude or minuet? Would Chopin have crafted a nocturne or mazurka? What about Mozart, Tchaikovsky, or Bartok? Here are 16 songs arranged for solo piano, arranged as if they were covered by these composer giants. The focus is on classic accompaniment styles, devices, figurations and forms, the compositional hallmarks of centuries of great music.
