Alan Bullard: Aspects of Blue: Solo de Piano

These seven piano pieces, of intermediate difficulty, represent different aspects of the twelve-bar blues structure, which originated in the southern states of the USA in the mid 19th century. Each is based on the twelve-bar blues chord sequence, but responds to it in a different way, with stylistic references to the past as well as the present, providing a contrasting set of pieces which can be played as a group or individually. The fingering markings are suggestions only, and may be adapted as required.
