A Jazz Piano Christmas 2025 – But not at the Kennedy Center

For more than three decades, “A Jazz Piano Christmas” at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. has been a quiet highlight of the holiday season for jazz and piano lovers. No fixed formulas, no “seasonal jazz” clichés — just strong pianistic voices working with familiar material. This year, the live concert is on pause. Here’s what changed, and where pianists can still turn for meaningful jazz piano Christmas listening and playing. Read more

The metronome had not yet been invented in Mozart’s lifetime. So any metronome suggestion is just that – a suggestion.

I do not have the London Book, but I do have a collection of pieces from it, edited by Howard Ferguson for the ABRSM (“Mozart: 25 Early pieces”). If the piece you are referring to is the Menuet in Bb (in my book it is K15 pp), then the suggestion is crochet (quarter note) = 120.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,
Bernhard
