This is a "workout" in a musical sense, although it certainly requires energy and concentration!

This playlist has Freidman 14 and a slow solo that Tony recorded for my lessons on Donna Lee. My job was to transcribe in Ab then transpose to C from memory. It was a tough one!

In this exercise, the line is a little closer to a walking bass line with quarter notes. Keep the notes legato, and shoot for keeping the pedal down as much as possible with clean dampening in between the notes. Check out the attached PDF!

Hi everyone!
I'm doing a short series on dampening. In these etudes, we're using walking bass lines as a way to work on dampening. Most of these exercises are pretty simple, and a lot of fun! Try them out and see how well you can keep a legato feel throughout. And of course, check out the attached PDF! 😀

Adios Nonino by Astor Piazzolla - arranged and performed by Jerry Weir

Adios Nonino is Astor Piazzolla’s most famous composition. In an interview with Natalio Gorin, Piazzolla stated “The number one piece is Adios Nonino.” “Nonino” was Piazzolla’s name for his father - Vicente Piazzolla. Adios Nonino was written by Piazzolla in one sitting the night he returned to New York and learned that his father had died. Knowing this will give you insight to your performance of this piece.
Tango Final by Astor Piazzolla - arranged and performed by Jerry Weir

Tango Final is a less well-known Piazzolla composition that was used in the French film Famille d’Artistes. For the soundtrack of this 1989 movie, the piece was performed by a trio led by accordionist Richard Galliano. My arrangement of Tango Final is the least challenging of the pieces in this collection but fun to play and very romantico.
Oblivion by Astor Piazzolla - arranged and performed by Jerry Weir
Jerry Weir
30 March 2024
A beautiful piece that has been used many times by figure skaters in the Olympics. It is one of Piazzolla’s most popular and haunting pieces. Piazzolla’s recording with full orchestra is the source for my arrangement. Oblivion should flow gently without becoming bogged down. Be expressive and romantic.
