{"product_id":"9780486272603","title":"Krazy Kat, A Jazz Pantomime for Piano","description":"This is the first single-volume publication of both the out-of-print original and revised versions of \u003ci\u003eKrazy\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eKat,\u003c\/i\u003e a unique \"jazz pantomime\" for piano. Based on George Herriman's hugely influential newspaper comic strip that chronicled the adventures of a lovelorn feline, this comic production represents a landmark in American music. The seldom-staged work debuted in 1922 at New York City's Town Hall, and a 1940 revival employed the revised edition.\u003cbr\u003eJohn Alden Carpenter's score abounds in lyric warmth, harmonic charm, and rhythmic vitality. He created this unusual theatrical work for a ballet company headed by a former \u003ci\u003eBallets Russes\u003c\/i\u003e performer. Cartoonist Herriman designed the production's scenery and costumes, and he drew a series of madcap illustrations that are reproduced in this edition. Jazz lovers, collectors of rare music, and intermediate- to advanced-level pianists will want a copy of this facsimile publication, which features the composer's original Program Notes and an illuminating Introduction.","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082778919152,"sku":"9780486272603","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/423294989.png?v=1738632832","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780486272603","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
