This series of easy piano pieces for teaching purposes presents pupils in the early and early-middle stages with a careful selection from well-known and less-known compositions by important masters. The individual volumes are deliberately kept small in compass, since it is more stimulating for children if the literature used for instruction is changed frequently. Between 1795 and 1802, Beethoven composed a large number of German dances, contredances and minuets. He made simple piano reductions of a considerable proportion of these occasional compositions. The selection of the present pieces was made on the basis of the compositions that seemed most suitable for the piano. The piano arrangements are based on the scores and the original piano reductions, and the marks of interpretation have been retained. The working-out of more finely-differentiated interpretations is left to the performer studying the pieces. These grateful little pieces are equally suitable as studies and as recital pieces. Heinz Walter, Salzburg, Fall 1974.

The present series of easy piano music for teaching provides pupils in the lower and lower-middle grades with a careful selection of well-known and little-lmown compositions by important masters. Each book has intentionally been kept small in extent, since it is more stimulating for children to change the teaching material frequently. In the course of his brief creative life, Schubert wrote more than 200 dances and waltzes for piano, which he grouped together and published in sets. The technical difficulties, which are sometimes considerable, are greatly reduced by dividing the music up between four hands; a process which has been carried out without necessitating any major alterations to the original versions for piano solo. Ten of the most beautiful waltzes from different opus numbers have been selected for the present book. Heinz Walter, Salzburg, Fall 1974.
