Zez Confrey at the Piano Piano Solos by Edward Elzear "Zez" Confrey Piano Solo - Sheet Music

By Edward Elzear "Zez" Confrey

This collection represents a cross-section of Confrey's works and encompasses the broad range of his styles. Besides his famous 1920s novelty works (including Kitten on the Keys), there are many wonderful, lesser-known gems of remarkable quality included here from later in his career. Appearing for the first time in print are transcriptions of one of his disc recordings (Poor Buttermilk) and two of his player piano roll arrangements (My Pet and Humorestless). Many of Confrey's later works have long been out of print and are included here for the first time in decades.

    OK quality print but ...

    I did too find the compositions somewhat differently arranged as the common playing. Alot of them were modified by Confrey when the publishing got complains that they are harder to play.I also didnt find my favorite My Pet and Giddy Ditty in this collection - was disappointed.

    Clean scores

    Assuming you already know Confrey's music, this book contains all the famous pieces. I don't think it has everything he wrote, but it's pretty comprehensive. The music is clear and easy to read, not crowded on the page like some sheets. This is for advanced players, and Confrey has a unique sound that's not for everyone. I did find that the versions in this book don't quite match the versions of my MP3 files. Some parts of Dizzy Fingers, for instance, are totally different. Upon looking into it, it seems that Confrey himself would add or leave out sections in his different performances.
