Ballad playing - performing the smoothest and most expressive of melodies - is indulgence pure and simple. Faber Music's Play Ballads books offer solo instrumentalists the inspirations of some of the greatest exponents of the form. Includes Elton John's Your Song," Lionel Richie's "Hello," Burt Bacharach's "What the World Needs Now" and Fox and Gimbel's "Killing Me Softly," plus five lovely originals by John Kember."
