Yes, the CLASSICAL Fake Book . . . An essential tool for the gigging musician and anyone who wants to add a “classical” touch to their standard repertoire. Forget the arduous practicing required to legitimately play the ‘hard stuff!” Easily play the main themes that people instantly recognize.

The Fake Book, in case you’re not familiar with it, is basically the simplest version of sheet music available. It is a collection of songs written with only the melody, lyrics and chord changes over the appropriate beats. This book contains the main themes and melodies of famous classical pieces.

Fake books and their predecessors have been around for decades (since at least the early 1940’s). The one fake book that rose to the top of the heap (for most modern musicians, anyway) was called “The Real Book”, a collection of what were, at the time, the best modern jazz songs, mixed with popular standards. The book was created around 1974-5 by a group of students at the Berklee School Of Music. This book is still the most common book you might find at a jazz gig. It became so popular that even today’s music-writing computer software programs include a notation font that mimics the Real Book’s handwritten manuscript.
