The Solo Piano II notebook is definitely a keepsake that will last for many years of playing, but Gonzales would probably be happier if you ended up with an old, worn-out copy! There’s a nice intro on the inherent weakness of the piano as an instrument, plus space for notes at the end. It’s as if Gonzales said, “Fuck those tiny songbooks – mine’s going to be bigger!” The pages are thick and yet stay open – even at the beginning and end. The form factor of the Solo Piano II notebook is impressive – almost 40% larger than other songbooks. Just like it takes more than source code to maintain a program, it takes more than a songbook to play like Gonzales, but part of the pleasure is in exploration and experimentation. The notebooks are also a glimpse into Gonzales’ thought processes, techniques, style, humour, and virtuosity. Yes, it does take a true virtuoso like Gonzales to really bring the songs to life, but studying and playing the notebooks offers information beyond the notes themselves.

The notebooks are a faithful replication of Gonzales’ Solo Piano compositions, which means that they contain the basic information required to play Solo Piano songs. What does source code have to do with Chilly Gonzales? It just so happens that Gonzales sells his unique form of ‘source code’ – the Solo Piano notebooks. It’s relatively easy to understand and replicate code once it has been written, but it’s an entirely different matter to develop a piece of brilliant code in the first place. Writing great code is definitely an art form it can be elegant, efficient, and channel the personality of the developer. If you have the source code to an application, you can study it, modify it, and (sometimes) release new versions.

In the computing industry, source code is the key to practically every electronic item currently produced.
