Joe Bongiorno - Into the Wind Songbook

Into the Wind Solo Piano Sheet Music

Joe Bongiorno

2011 / Piano Haven

12 songs / 59 pages

Into the Wind Solo Piano Sheet Music is the companion songbook to Joe Bongiorno’s 2011 CD release by the same name. All twelve songs are included, transcribed note-for-note by John Zechiel. I was surprised when I was playing through this book how consistent the level of difficulty is from one song to the next. The primary factors that make one piece somewhat more difficult than another are the key signatures and the length of the pieces. Most of the pieces are single-note patterns on both hands with a few chords and octaves. The timing is not complicated and the expression is clearly marked. Pianists of upper-intermediate to early-advanced playing levels should be able to master these pieces without much problem, and will soon find themselves flowing along with Joe Bongiorno’s magical touch on the piano. The song titles, their playing level, key signature(s), and number of pages are listed below. This book is spiral bound and printed on a heavier-than-usual paper stock. The notation is very clear and the spacing is roomy. I really enjoyed playing through this book and highly recommend it. It is available from www.solopianomusic.com.
