Easier Piano Pieces 73-Anton Diabelli (1781-1858) was an Austrian musician. Best known in his time as a publisher he famously wrote a Waltz theme and in a publicity stunt sent it to 50 leading Austrian composers asking them to write a variation on it. However Beethoven got carried away and wrote a complete set of 33 variations which now bear Diabelli?s name consigning him to the same class of fame as Goldbach. These Seven Sonatinas (Op. 168) were written in 1839 and have remained popular examples of the Sonatina form. They are all in three movements and follow a similar Moderato - Andante - Rondo structure.

These Six Viennese Sonatinas were not originally composed by Mozart for the piano. They are a contemporary arrangement of the Wind Divertimentos K 439b which Mozart wrote in 1783. The Divertimentos are notable for their conciseness of form and their melodic richness. They therefore make an excellent introduction to Mozart's piano music even though they are not completely typical of Mozart's piano writing. We do not know for certain who made the arrangement but Alexander Weinmann has shown that it was probably Ferdinand Kauer. The order of movements is not the same as in the original; moreover some of the Trios have been exchanged and recapitulations have been shortenedin some instances. The original voice leading has been replaced by voice leading suitable to the piano. The 2oth_century editions by Rehberg (Schott) Rowley (Peters) and the old edition by Kapral (originally published by Universal Edition) are based on a Ricordi reprint edited by Muggelini in 1907; its musical text is unreliable and there are many arbitrary alterations. The present edition is therefore based on the first edition of the arrangement published by Artaria of Vienna in 1803. By comparing it with the score of the Divertimentos (Mozart Complete Edition Series XXIV No. 62 1905) and with the first edition of the parts it was possible to establish the precise articulation and dynamic markings and to add them where needed. For piano pupils simpler versions are suggested in footnotes as are possible executions of ornaments. Metronome markings have been provided by the editor; like the footnotes they should be taken only as suggestions.

Easier Piano Pieces 24-James Hook (1746-1827) showed his musical gifts at an early age playing the harpsichord at the age of four and performing in public at six. He was an immensely prolific composer of entertainment music and these 12 light-hearted and melodic sonatinas are typical of his style.These two-movement works make excellent teaching material.

Early Piano Music. Par STRAUSS RICHARD. The tonal language of the young Richard Strauss is still characterized by the traditions of the 19th Century; indeed, the musical content of the composer’s early piano works is determined to a large extent by his response to the examples of Schubert, Mendelssohn and Schumann. These previously unpublished piano pieces appear for the first time in this edition. The “Sonatinas” in several movements and a “Fantasie” from the year 1874 - whose level of difficulty is comparable with the Sonatinas by Kuhlau and Clementi and with early pieces by Mozart - are versatile pieces suitable for teaching purposes./ Recueil / Piano

Why not indeed. J.S. Bach taught his sons using the music of his time popular dances preludes and exercises by living composers. It would never have occurred to him to seek out pieces in styles and rhythms one hundred years old. He expected his boys to thrive in the musical world of their time.American Popular Piano has been developed on the same
