Classical Piano Solos - First Grade: Piano: Instrumental Album

John Thompson's Modern Course-This first volume in the Classical Piano Solos series features 20 original pieces from the masters suitable for pianists at a Grade 1 standard. This series was compiled to correlate loosely with the Modern Course method and can be used to supplement any teaching method or situation. This volume features a mix of well-known pieces including several from Bartok's method (co-authored in 1913 with Reschofsky) and Burgmüller's Arabesque as well as lesser-known gems by composers like Melanie Bonis Vincent d'Indy and Daniel Turk. Also includes two bonus pieces - by Gurlitt and Schmitt respectively - that have been adapted so that thebeginning student can immediately start playing the classical repertoire.
