Stretching the Standards Imaginative Arrangements for Piano 鋼琴

"這 12 種編曲與歐文-柏林（Irving Berlin）、傑羅姆-克恩（Jerome Kern）和理查-羅傑斯（Richard Rodgers）最初創作歌曲的方式有些不同。在和聲、調式的使用、旋律的重鑄以及意想不到的伴奏等方面，我都盡力將他們的經典歌曲推向新的領域。有時，我也會像爵士樂手那樣在旋律中加入變奏，但這些並不是爵士樂的變奏。恰恰相反，這些曲目在風格上可能會讓人聯想到蕭邦和德彪西的一些前奏曲，以及拉威爾的一些較短的鋼琴曲"。- 迪克-海曼歌曲包括你好，年輕的戀人們》--《最後一次見到巴黎》--《人們會說我們相愛了》--《歌聲就是你》--《這幾乎是我的》--《今夜你的樣子》--《我們在陰影中接吻》--等等

原文簡介:
“These 12 arrangements are intended to depart a bit from the way that the songs were first set down by Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, and Richard Rodgers. In terms of harmony, the use of modulations, and the recasting of melodies with unexpected accompaniment, I've tried, with all due respect, to move their classic songs into new territory. Sometimes I've embellished the melodies themselves in the way a jazz player might throw in variations, but these are not jazz variations. To the contrary, the settings are perhaps reminiscent in manner of some of the preludes of Chopin and Debussy, and of the shorter piano pieces of Ravel.” – Dick Hyman. Songs include: Hello, Young Lovers • The Last Time I Saw Paris • People Will Say We're in Love • The Song Is You • This Nearly Was Mine • The Way You Look Tonight • We Kiss in a Shadow • and more.
