Martin David Jones - Friedrich Gulda: Piano Works

Friedrich Gulda�s piano compositions combine notated music with large improvised sections, thus fusing the classical and jazz traditions. He was one of his generation�s most significant pianists and though his compositional output is relatively small, it is nevertheless significant. Variations on �Light My Fire� is his tour de force virtuoso masterpiece whilst Play Piano Play beguilingly contrasts traditional classical procedure with many different jazz styles.
