Composed by Bert Kalmar, Harry Ruby, and Oscar Hammerstein. Arranged by Martyn Clive Johnson (aka Martycli Piano Guy). 20th Century,Blues,Instructional,Jazz,Ragtime. Score. 6 pages. Martyn Johnson #884198. Published by Martyn Johnson (A0.1293722).This is a my piano version of 'A Kiss to Build a Dream On'
It is mostly in the key of C major but modulates briefly to Eb for the ending. I have arranged it in a stride piano style. This style of music has evolved from the ragtime of Scott Joplin through the early jazz piano players like Fats Waller and James P Johnson. The left hand can be tricky but it can be simplified by replacing the tenths with single bass notes.
It's both a cheerful and sentimental tune. I have included chord symbols which I find as useful as the notation when learning a piece. I haven't included pedal symbols, dynamics or fingering - leaving this as a choice for the player and no two pianist ever see eye to eye on these issues in any event!
Please note this is a piano solo only and other instruments included in my YouTube video are not notated.
