A wonderful piece showing the "classical" side of Billy Joel. This is his Opus 10 from Fantasies & Delusions. The Air will delight every type of audience with its beautiful melodies and exciting rhythms. It is a very flexible piece from a programming perspective: perfect for classic, pops and summer bandshell concerts. And don’t forget to include it on your St. Patrick’s Day concert!
