Summary of This Book
The CD edition of The Easy Piano Collection: Handel Gold brings together a carefully selected compilation of George Frideric Handel's most famous pieces, specially composed for keyboard or arranged for easy piano. The goal is simple: to enable quick playing of immediately recognizable Baroque themes while developing musicality, rhythmic regularity, and hand independence.
To facilitate learning, the book adopts the same notation as Carol Barratt's Classic Piano Course and offers a "new generation" presentation that is pleasant to read and particularly suited for daily practice. Fingerings are included to secure hand positions, gain fluidity, and build good technical reflexes from the very first measures. Detailed biographies of the composer enrich the experience by providing useful musical and historical context to better interpret the style.
The accompanying CD is a real pedagogical asset: it allows listening to reference versions and anchors the tempo, articulation, and dynamics before moving to the keyboard. It is a valuable tool for ear training, understanding the character of Baroque dances and airs, and progressing independently.
Regarding repertoire, the collection includes excerpts from Water Music (Air, Allegro, Hornpipe), Music For The Royal Fireworks (Bourrée, Minuets, La Réjouissance), as well as staples like the Hallelujah Chorus (Messiah), Largo (Xerxes), Lascia Ch'io Pianga (Rinaldo), The Arrival Of The Queen Of Sheba (Solomon), and Zadok The Priest. An ideal collection to enrich your classical sheet music piano repertoire, without aiming for virtuosity but with genuine musical enjoyment.
