Robert Schumann Fourth Piano Sonata With the collaboration of electrical engineer and uncle Dr. Paul Green, Moyer unearthed the unfinished manuscript of a Fourth Piano Sonata by composer Robert Schumann. They have created a performable edition of the work, as well as “a very impressive download application that lets you follow, on the same page, both Schumann's original and the newly printed version, while listening to Moyer play the music (each measure is highlighted in sync with the playing).”
Fred Moyer Jazz Trio What can safely be called the only jazz group of its kind, the Fred Moyer Jazz Trio performs both its own improvisations and its note-for-note transcriptions of jazz trio performances of historic piano giants. Fred (along with the many bassists and drummers he collaborates with) create a score by transcribing every note of a favorite jazz performance, and then approach the score just as they would a chamber music work of Beethoven and Mozart, not changing the notes and staying true to the style, but interpreting the music in his own way. Fred Moyer has released two CDs with his jazz trio, and has worked with
Hal Leonard Publications, releasing two books containing his transcriptions of jazz performances by
Vince Guaraldi, Oscar Peterson, Erroll Garner,
Horace Silver,
Bill Evans, and others . These collections include a play-along CD. During the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown, Moyer created over 240 video concerts for concert venues across the United States, combining a wide variety of styles, pre-recorded professional orchestral and jazz accompaniment, concurrent video of musical colleagues, five cameras and computer-generated visual effects. ==References==
