Easy Piano arrangements of 22 classical favourites by Beethoven. Complete with song background notes and playing hints and tips.

50 Easy Pieces from 5 Centuries. Par . For the Easy Concert Pieces series, the experienced piano teacher Monika Twelsiek compiled pleasant, easy piano pieces for beginners and published them in three volumes in progressive order. The three volumes are intended to complement a piano tutorial method and are particularly suitable for performance at auditions at music schools, for examinations and for competitions. They offer varied repertoire in a broad selection of pieces from the Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Modern eras. Volume 1 (ED 22547) can already be used by beginners, containing pieces in the five-note range and easy pieces spanning a single octave. Other criteria for selection are simple rhythms and very easy chords. Crossing the thumb underneath, playing several parts together and pedal use are not yet required. Volume 2 (ED 22548) contains pieces with an extended range of two octaves. Crossing the thumb under, pedal use, simple polyphony and three- or four-part chords all feature here, as do simple ornaments, cantabile playing and differentiating between melody and accompaniment. Volume 3 (ED 22549) is aimed at advanced players who wish to refine their expression and personal interpretation. The pieces demand a great deal of dexterity, a high sense of rhythm, articulation and phrasing, polyphonic playing (polyphony even in one hand) and tonal differentiation of the piano setting. / Niveau : Très facile / Date parution : 2021-12-09/ Recueil / Piano

Par HAYDN FRANZ JOSEF. Joseph Haydn?s popular Piano Sonata in D major comes from a group of six sonatas which Haydn had published as a collection by the Viennese publisher Artaria in 1780. The edition was dedicated to the sisters Katharina and Marianna Auenbrugger, two Viennese pianists whom the composer greatly admired: ?The approval of the Misses von Auenbrugger is most important to me; for their way of playing, and their genuine insight into music the music, equals that of the greatest masters.? In the Henle Urtext edition, taken from the revised volumes of the complete Haydn piano sonatas, Lars Vogt takes the place of the Auenbrugger sisters: he has added fingering, making this work, brimming with energy and yet technically easy to master, newly accessible for all piano enthusiasts. / Date parution : 2021-12-09/ Répertoire / Piano

One must look long and hard to find a Piano pupil who hasn’t studied Beethoven’s two “sonate facile” Op.49. They are not only relatively easy to play but highly lyrical and effective ideally combining joy in music-making with a mastery of early classical literature. The two works were composed much earlier than the opus number suggests. Beethoven wrote them around 1797/98 during a time when he also worked on one of his most important sonatas the “Grande Sonate pathétique” Op.13.Jonathan Del Mar currently one of the most renowned Beethoven scholars stands for a meticulouslyedited Urtext edition on the basis of an intensive study of all sources.
