Publisher's Synopsis
By this level the student is ready for the easiest classics. But the classics in these books are not only the usual easier Bach and Mozart, they also include such composers as Corelli, Purcell, and Krieger. Besides sonatinas by Beethoven, Kuhlau, and Clementi, there are examples by Haslinger, Merkel, and Salutrinskaya. And while most of the Romantics are familiar (Schumann, Tchaikovsky, and others) there are contemporary compositions in new, but not extreme, idioms. Includes: Air (Purcell) * Allemande in A (Beethoven) * Allemande in D (Beethoven) * Bourree (Mozart) * Children's Ballet (Turk) * Children's Game (Bartok) * Contredanse (Mozart) * Happy Farmer (Schumann) * I Danced With a Mosquito (Liadov) * Italian Song (Tchaikovsky) * The Lame Witch Lurking in the Forest (Rebikov) * Little Story (Blatny) * Minuet in F (Handel) * Minuet in G (Bach) * Passing Fancy (Maykapar) *Playing Games (Kirchner) * Sarabande (Corelli) * Soldiers' March (Schumann) * Sonatina in G (Beethoven) * Sonatina in G (Biehl) * Sonatina (Salutrinskaya) * Waltz (Kabalevsky) * Wild Rider (Schumann)
