G. Henle Verlag Easy Piano Music from 18th and 19th Century, Volume 1 - Piano - Book

Composer: Various
Editor: Walter Georgii
Format: Book
Instrumentation: Piano

With this Urtext edition compiled by the expert pianist and piano instructor Walter Georgii, the budding pianist is offered a little overview of the variety of classical-romantic piano literature. The selection and organization is chiefly oriented on the beauty, popularity and performability of the pieces. Behind this is the intent to present to the player a kind of colorful spectrum of interesting works ranging from clear across a wide variety of eras; next to the "great" names, one can also make surprising discoveries of lesser known composers. Volume I contains the easier pieces; while only two reach difficulty level 5, most of the others lie between levels 2 and 4.
