Broadway's Best

arr. Phillip Keveren The Phillip Keveren Series Piano Solo

By Phillip Keveren

So many great arrangements in this book although several of these are also in other Keveren books. One that is not found elsewhere however and that makes this book a 'must have' is the superb arrangement of 'And All That Jazz.'

The Broadways Best arrived and started learning some of the songs...the arrangements are for middle intermediate players. It always helps to preview the written music itself before purchasing to ensure that the pieces are not too easy or hard for your level. I found this book at right at...

the level I am at, and know that I will enjoy learning and playing these songs.

Obviously I ordered this without seeing or playing the arrangements. I expected a higher degree of difficulty and more musical depth to the arrangements. An "intermediate" classification would be more accurate in my opinion.

Clearly Keveren's best. Anyone who enjoys the soaring music of Phantom of the Opera will just love how he arranged "All I Ask of You." Everyone stops to listen when you play that one: it advances forward with key changes, producing that soaring sound without the over-repetition that...

plagues ordinary arrangements. I have been playing piano for over 40 years, and I own all the Keveren books. I am certain you will love it.

I love this book! Some pieces are a bit challanging -All That Jazz and All I Ask of You. I especially enjoy If I Loved You, Beauty and the Beast and Some Enchanted Evening.
