Wie nah oder fern stehen sich das europauml;ische Theater und das amerikanische Musical? Seit Cecil Smith 1950 erstmals die Entwicklung von den europauml;isch beeinflussten Gattungen des amerikanischen Musiktheaters zum Musical beschrieben hat und zu dem Schluss kam; dass das amerikanische Musical als eigenstauml;ndige Form anzusehen sei; ist diese Ansicht vorherrschend in den Theater- und Musikwissenschaften sowie in der Amerikanistik. Marc A. Bauch nimmt Smiths Frage des Einflusses des europauml;ischen Theaters auf das amerikanische Musical im 20. Jahrhundert auf und stellt das traditionelle Verstauml;ndnis der Eigenstauml;ndigkeit des amerikanischen Musicals in Frage. Hierbei zeigt er anhand der Musicals "Porgy and Bess" (1935); "Oklahoma!" (1943); "Kiss Me; Kate" (1948); "West Side Story" (1957) und "Pacific Overtures" (1976); dass europauml;ische Operetten und Dramen auch im 20. Jahrhundert Vorbilder fuuml;r amerikanische Musicals waren.

A different version of Alice In Wonderland -- both are excellent!By Georgina TolandTheres a lot to love about Disney music and having them recast into jazz settings just makes them better. Best pieces here are "Alice In Wonderland" (a different and easier arrangement than the one found in the Bill Evans Volume 19); "The Bare Necessities;" "Beauty and the Beast;" "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo;" "Chim Chim Cher-ee" (a personal fave that a determined advanced beginner can play); "A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes"; "Hes A Tramp" (another fave); "When You Wish Upon A Star;" and "A Whole New World." The only dogs here are those from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. The problem there is the source material. Overall; this is great volume of music. I recommend it.8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. this series has given me a great outlet for my love of jazzBy David HocherThese are outstanding arrangements and a blast to play. As a classically trained pianist that does not have time to learn jazz improvisation and arranging; this series has given me a great outlet for my love of jazz. I have several books in this series and I particularly like the ones arranged by Brent Edstrom. I hope Hal Leonard continues to publish more of these books as I feel they fill a much needed and often overlooked niche.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. but its a good thing maybeBy hamsteronwheelsdeceptively difficult; but its a good thing maybe. I wish the left hand didnt have all these crazy 10ths which is impossible for me to play with my tiny hands. My piano teacher told me to cheat that using the pedal; but that doesnt make that any better. Ive encountered difficult stuff but tenths annoy me.
