Product Description

An easy to intermediate arrangement of 'I'm Old Fashioned' by Jerome Kern and Johnny Mercer for solo piano.

This song has an atypical form: A1-B-C-A2. Each section is eight bars long with the last A2 section extended to twelve bars.

William Zinsser praises Im Old Fashioned in Easy to Remember: The Great American Songwriters and Their Songs: Its one of his [Kerns] finest songs, particularly pleasing because of the recurring use of the four-beat metrical motif that states the title. Every time we hear those four beats (this years fancies, passing fancies, I dont mind it, stay old-fashioned), were reminded that were in the hands of a craftsman.

The second half of the C section is a masterpiece of invention, moving, as it does, from A major in a series of imitations, up to a C-dominant-seventh chord as a preparation for a return to the principal statement. And it is a song of extremely narrow range, only a ninth, and attempts no climactic ending. In fact, the reverse.
