The Yamaha Piano Library, which began in the 1980s, is a series designed to provide students with new teaching materials and repertoire essential to music education. Today, pianists all over the world are required to play pieces from different eras with technique and sensitivity that reflect the characteristics of the music of that period. To meet these demands, this series offers a wide range of piano compositions from different periods, regions, and styles. Many of these pieces are not included in other collections and are selected as required pieces for competitions each year.
This fascinating collection includes compositions from Germany, one of the leading countries of the Romantic period, as well as from all over Europe, Russia, the United States and other regions, ranging from the less frequently played to the standard pieces in a well-balanced manner. Arranged in order of difficulty so that they can be played according to the student's skill level, the 31 pieces composed for the piano by Romantic composers are selected for students studying at Bayer's later levels.

Composer's Note:

In writing these pieces I had in mind certain difficulties which worry most organists from time to time; and in order to combine, as it were, business with pleasure I thought it worthwhile to concentrate upon one aspect of organ technique in each piece, even at the risk of making them a little more difficult than others in this series.

In Procession the main difficulty lies in the pedals Arabesque, on the other hand could hardly have had a simpler pedal part: its object is to exercise the left hand in producing a smooth, running semi-quaver pattern Pageant with its cross-rhythms, is designed to produce well-disciplinedhands and feet that can, when required, work in conflicting rhythms.

I have kept the registration schemes as simple and straightforward as possible.

With “Melodic Exercise Pieces” the composer and piano teacher Anton Diabelli has achieved an artistic breakthrough; to this day there is hardly a student who has not studied the pieces with pleasure at some point in his or her piano career. The composer himself emphasizes the instructive character of the pieces: he calls them “exercise pieces” and deliberately limits the pitch range to the space of a fifth, thus sparing the student difficult jumps and making it easier to read the music; often both hands are held parallel. The pieces are arranged according to keys. Tone images in major and minor are presented above the basic tones c, g, f, d, a, e, each tonal space is secured before venturing into new landscapes. Each of the small compositions represents a piece of living music.
