(Chiara Zocca, review to Blues Piano, \u201cMusica Domani\u201d, marzo 2000). Per l\u2019assoluta cura dei dettagli e la ricchezza delle annotazioni spicca quindi questa nuova, notevole fatica del pianista veneziano Riccardo Scivales [\u2026] gi\u00e0 autore di altri volumi di trascrizioni pianistiche, tra cui il fondamentale Harlem Stride Piano Solos. (Maurizio Franco, review to The Soul Of Blues, Stride &amp; Swing Piano, \u201cMusica Jazz, dicembre 2002). A truly indispensable book because of the reliability of its transcriptions. (Maurizio Franco, review to The Soul of Blues, Stride &amp; Swing Piano, &#8220;Musica Jazz&#8221;, December 2002). All of the compositions are challenging but sound great. (D.P., review to Southern-Fried Blues, \u201cClavier\u201d, December 2002).&nbsp;www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tezN3ZNTF_s Riccardo Scivales [\u2026] has done us an invaluable service. He\u2019s given us piano solos, faithfully and lovingly transcribed; a well-observed career overview and analysis of style; and [\u2026] a comprehensive inventory on Wellstood on record and film. (Richard M. Sudhalter, from the Preface to Dick Wellstood: The Art of Jazz and Blues Piano, Vol. 1).&nbsp;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sp1jZefOD9s These solos are faithfully transcribed and are very accurate. [\u2026] I found this production very worthwhile. (John Collinson, review to Dick Wellstood:The Art of Jazz and Blues Piano Vol. 1, &#8220;VJM Jazz and Blues Mart&#8221;, 2002). I brani sono analizzati in modo sintetico ma illuminante [\u2026]. E varr\u00e0 la pena che pianisti e musicologi prestino orecchio a Scivales [\u2026] uno dei pi\u00f9 esperti e abili trascrittori del pianismo jazz [\u2026]. (Luca Bragalini, review to Dick Wellstood: The Art of Jazz and Blues Piano, Vol. 1, \u201cMusica Jazz\u201d, novembre 2004). &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,1,15],"tags":[87,54,120,49,66,24,62,77,63,121,123,122,69,126,125,30,124],"class_list":["post-387","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books","category-news","category-transcriptions","tag-art-tatum","tag-blues","tag-books-3","tag-dick-wellstood","tag-harlem","tag-jazz","tag-jazz-piano","tag-latin-piano","tag-left-hand","tag-music-folios","tag-musicologists","tag-piano-methods","tag-reviews","tag-right-hand-runs","tag-soul","tag-stride-piano","tag-swing"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Reviews to Riccardo Scivales&#039;
