La collection Easy String Music de Boosey and Hawkes, dirigée et composée par Katherine et Hugh Colledge, compte quatre volumes d'un répertoire pour cordes destiné aux instrumentistes débutants et en cours d'apprentissage. Ces titres sont très appréciés des professeurs comme de leurs étudiants en raison de leurs vertus pédagogiques : ils introduisent des techniques nouvelles et proposent doigtés, notes et rythmes conçus pour acquérir la maîtrise nécessaire et poser des fondations solides en vue de la suite de l'apprentissage. Chaque titre est disponible en deux versions : l'une est fournie avec un CD de démonstration et de pistes audio d'accompagnement ; l'autre comprend un livret d'accompagnement au piano et l'accès à des ressources audio téléchargeables. Les 26 morceaux de Waggon Wheels constituent le deuxième volume de la série. À l'aide d'une musique simple, l'usage des troisième et quatrième doigts ainsi que du lié de l'archet seront exercés lors de l'étude de ces morceaux.

Schirmer's Library of Musical Classics Vol. 2099-Combines both books of the popular Op. 74 studies in one value-priced edition.

Frédéric Chopin's 24 Préludes were created successively between 1836 and 1839; it was only in the fair copy of 1839 that they were compiled as a cycle - virtually following the example of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier. Unlike with Bach however Chopin's Préludes are not followed by fugues as they themselves have mutated into romantic character pieces which express a range of very different moods. The technically easier ones of these miniatures are perfect as an introduction to playing Chopin all the more so since they include the probably most famous piece of the cycle the so-called 'Raindrop'Prélude. Intended to provide both students and music lovers with an inspiring access to the tonal world of Chopin the present edition of selected pieces of the Wiener Urtext Edition has been designed accordingly.
