Real Book of Classical Music for Modern Musicians

The Real Book of Classical Music for Modern Musicians is a one-of-a-kind work. The great masterpieces of classical and operatic music are translated into a modern language of chord symbols and structures - just like the great songs of jazz and pop.

This book builds a bridge between eras, bringing together different musical cultures and helping  new generations approach the music of the great Masters of the past - Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Mozart, Puccini, Verdi, Vivaldi and many more (30 composers - 80 pieces in total) - in a more accessible and engagning way.
