O mio babbino caro (english: Oh, my beloved father) is the name of a famous aria from the opera Gianni Schicci composed by Giacomo Puccini. The premiere of the opera was 1918 at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. I arranged this aria from Giacomo Puccini for piano for intermediate beginners. The original key Ab major is transposed to G-Major and the left hand accompaniment is not too difficult. It should be nice to play for any intermediate beginners. It's a very lovely melody.

This is one of the most beautiful and timeless piano works ever. It is composed by Franz Schubert and originally written in G-flat-major. Some people struggle with reading G-flat major, so I decided to transpose it a halftone up to G-major, which is much easier to read.

This is a true secret masterpiece for piano written by Guiseppe Martucci. The melodies based on the opera La forza del destino (The force of destiny) from Guiseppe Verdi. The original score edition of that masterpiece had a lot of mistakes and the score wasn't very well to read. So I decided to do a complete new score. It took me one month to do a corrected and well readable score.

The text of Stabat Mater dolorosa is thought to originate from Franciscan sources in the 13th century. It was in 1898, while he was at secondary school in Nagyszombat, that Kodály wrote his strophic Stabat Mater for a capella male choir.

I used the version for mixed choir (arranged by Imre Sulyok) in my arrangement and I add additional parts for a string quintett or string orchestra. The arrangement sounds great and emotional.

I recorded it with the powerful Vienna Ensemble Software, MirX Convolution Reverb and Logic X Mastering.

The so called Spanish Romance , also known as Romance Anónimo, Romance de Amor and other names, is originally a beautiful composition for the classical guitar. Its origins and authorship are currently in question. It is suspected of originally being a solo instrumental guitar work, from the 19th century. I love that romance very much and I decide to arrange it for the piano. I composed also a underlaying bass accompaniment for the left hand. It can be played by late intermediate piano players. It should be played emotionially and rubato.

The sonata no 3 (1st Movement) by Frederik Chopin is known as difficult to play. This sonata has such a beautiful theme and so I decided to simplify it in order to make it possible to be played by good intermediate players. I would say i changed its difficulty level from 5 to 3. I did a lot of effort to let it still sounding good like the original score. Listen to my recording to get an impression and try to play it. It is possible for you.

The vast majority of Chopin's works have a very high level of difficulty and are therefore hardly playable for beginners. But I selected some of his beautiful works and arranged them so that they are technically much easier to play for intermediate piano beginners, but still retain the musical idea and expression of the composer.

Andante spianato op. 22 
Etude No. 1 from op. 25
Theme from the 3rd Movement of piano Sonata op. 35 
Prelude op. 28 No. 15 (‚Raindrop‘)
