Jazzin’ It Up!

John Stebbe

Composers
Mozart; Beethoven; Petzold
Forces
Piano, Solo

Stebbe makes each of these four transformations a miniature, with none reaching three minutes. The Minuet carries a historical twist: it survived for years under Bach’s name because it appeared in Anna Magdalena’s notebook, but scholars eventually matched it to a harpsichord suite by Christian Petzold.

The classical side carries the source works these cuts came from. The jazz side carries the cuts themselves. Each player holds what is available, and they need not match.
