### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Nicely transcribed Fats Waller piano solos
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2010*

Those guys who gave this one star don't know much about Fats, that or they are being too picky with small errors. In that case, yes there may be a few small errors and this book might not be 100% accurate note for note what Fats played on these songs, but the transcriptions are still very professional and reflect the style and are pretty close to what Fats actually played. Songs like Ain't Misbehavin', Alligator Crawl, and Handful of Keys, are essential to any Waller and stride pianist. Waller's style is quite tricky to master and of course, some of the inversions between notes is just too wide to reach for normal sized hands like myself, so of course, improvising is needed for these. Of course, once you do get Fats' rhythm and style down, it won't be hard to impress your friends and audiences when you are at a piano, because everything Fats played was professional and had lots of harmony, with a very upbeat bass line. In the end, for only $10 or so dollars this book is worth it, the transcriptions are very good and mimic Waller's songs accurately. Fats music is timeless for any pianist and fun to play once you can get it down.

    If you like stride piano, this is a must-have
  

*by N***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2009*

I'm an advanced player, background in classical piano. Past couple of years have been loving stride piano.This book is one of my favorites.  Mind you, the selections require hard work. If you are an intermediate-levelpianist, this is too difficult. I started with Viper Drag around Halloween.  It's a great one and all ofFats' works allow for lots of interpretation, esp.Viper. I have a fuzzy memory of an old video featuring a viperslinking around and then in middle section he meets a lady-friend-viper & they strut together.  Programatic piece, it is. Yes, there are some editorial mishaps around which one can "cover". Break the left hand 10th or & do what you have to do to play and enjoy these. Fats wouldn't mind.  I've checked variousrecordings of Fats playing some of these pieces and he never played them the same twice. The player just has to pick a tempo s/he can manage.  This book will be very much enjoyed & played by a stride player. Gaar-on-tee!

    Magnum Opus
  

*by O***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2012*

This is an excellent resource. I commend Dr. Posnak for undertaking such an Herculean errand. Someone had to do it.  These are extremely accurate so far. I've only attempted Honeysuckle Rose and Ain't Misbehavin'. I would imagine that these studies should be time- consuming for the majority of players. However, I am finding the process to be most rewarding. You can purchase a recording of these exact transcriptions performed by Dr. Posnak, which is very helpful even if you already have the originals.
