Classical Folk - Piano Solo

This fifth volume in the Classical Piano Solos series features 19 original pieces from the masters, suitable for pianists at a Grade 5 standard.This series was compiled to correlate loosely with the Modern Course method and can be used to supplement any teaching method or situation. This volume features a mix of well-known pieces such as Beethoven's 'Moonlight? sonata (1st mvmt) and Rachmaninoff's famous C-sharp prelude, as well as lesser-known gems from Samuel Coleridge-Taylor ('They Will Not Lend Me a Child?), Anatoly Lyadov ('Prelude in B Minor?), and Rameau ('Les niais de Sologne?). All four main periods are represented.Editor's note: The final section of the Rachmaninoff prelude is presented on one visually-accessible page - the Chopin waltz (Op. 69/1) is based on original autographs rather than the oft-performed Fontana edition. / Piano
