EASY CLASSICAL CONTAINS 10 CLASSICAL MASTERPIECES
EASY CLASSICAL PIANO contains 10 Classical Masterpieces that use both the white and black keys of the piano. Using both hands, it is our most complex book for the piano. It is the only one to make use of fingering indications.
Beethoven: Fur Elise | Chopin: Fantasie Impromptu | Debussy: Clair de Lune | J.S. Bach: Minuet | J.S. Bach: Prelude #1 in C | Beethoven: Moonlight Sonata | Mozart: Rondo Alla Turca | Beethoven: Rage Over A Lost Penny (Rondo Capriccio) | Rossini: William Tell Overture (Lone Ranger Theme) | Tchaikovsky: Symphony Pathétique
Includes Fingering And Commentary
This book is more complex than any of our other books. Each song includes helpful commentary and suggestions for how to practice the piece. It’s like taking a lesson with an experienced teacher. First of all, you’ll note that there are indications (the tiny numbers on top of the bigger numbers in the sample page below) for “fingers.”
You’ll need to assign numbers to your fingers, as all pianists do, in order to navigate more complicated music. The finger indications are only a suggestion of what you should use. We suggest that you first try the piece many times using any fingers, until you get the idea.
Original Arrangements
The music of Bach’s Prelude #1 is presented exactly as it appears in sheet music versions, that is, nothing has been simplified or altered or arranged. You will play the exact notes of the entire piece that Bach wrote 250 years ago! Some of the more complex pieces have been simplified slightly to put them within your reach, but many appear in their original form.
It’s a great way to get started learning piano!
