Fantasies & Delusions. (Music for Solo Piano, Op. 1-10). By Billy Joel. For solo piano. Piano Solo Personality. 20th Century. SMP Level 7 (Late Intermediate). Collection. Standard notation, fingerings and introductory text (does not include words to the songs). 96 pages. Published by Hal Leonard (HL.306454).

Fantasies & Delusions is the next chapter in Billy Joel's life-long love affair with the piano. Before the world-renowned 'Piano Man' ever discovered pop, he grew up studying classical piano, already feeling the influences of Beethoven, Bach, Chopin, Schubert, Schumann and many others. Although he ran away with the seductress named Rock'n'Roll as a teenager, 30 years later he returns to where he began to pay tribute to the music that made him fall in love with music in the first place. This matching folio features all 12 pieces from the album, as performed by Richard Joo.

An Interesting Diversion at Best
Get this if you want to be able to say, "I'm now going to play a piece by Billy Joel." Since that may stir interest in an audience, that’s ok. The pieces are not terrible. This music is obviously not written by a great composer. The themes and developments don’t...
