The Easy Piano Duets Series presents a selection of sensitively arranged piano duets, each with optional backing tracks. In the interests of playability, these two wonderful tunes have been simplified, while still allowing the spirit of the originals to shine through.In the interests of playability, the strict formality of Pachelbelâ??s Canon has been relaxed while allowing the spirit of the original to shine through. The key has been simplified from D major to C major and the seventeenth century rhythmic notation updated to improve readability. The optional backing tracks allow for small 12 bar sections (between each of the rehearsal letters) to be practised both â??slowlyâ?? (crotchet = 70 with metronome click) and â??a tempoâ?? (crotchet = 84), before putting the whole piece together â?? ideally in the company of another human!Arranged by Mark Goddard with optional backing tracks (available to download here).

Both parts 1 and 2 can be enjoyed at a beginner to intermediate level, about the level of Burgmuller. The book contains carefully selected pieces from the famous Classical pieces that are especially popular among children. Recommended for students using score notation for the first time, as it is easy to read. The arrangements are designed to be easy to play even for small hands, while respecting the image of the original. It is also useful for teaching students to listen to the overall balance of the piece. In addition, in songs where the melody appears in both parts 1 and 2, you can enjoy the creative ways of aligning the playing style and playing over each other. The book is not too long, yet it is arranged in a satisfying size, making it a useful book for review sessions and recitals.
