Summary of This Book
This collection brings together 100 early intermediate level selections, carefully chosen to support the student at a pivotal stage of their development: where reading becomes more confident, musicality sharpens, and exploration of contrasting styles begins. The content covers a broad spectrum, from the Baroque period to more contemporary pieces, allowing work on listening skills and interpretative reflexes specific to each era (articulation, phrasing, dance, character). Included are several minuets, folk dances, and character pieces, perfect for developing rhythmic precision, consistency of playing, and sound quality. The announced "early intermediate" grading facilitates the selection of pieces according to the student's actual level, whether in lessons, independent practice, or audition preparation. Thanks to this variety, the collection becomes an excellent pedagogical repertoire resource: it helps build musical culture, consolidate technical fundamentals without monotony, and nurture the desire to play with short, accessible, and rewarding pieces.
