Summary of This Book
The new CD edition of The Easy Piano Collection: Baroque Gold offers an ideal journey to discover (or rediscover) Baroque music on the piano through world-renowned pieces. Each title was composed for keyboard or adapted into an "easy piano" version to remain accessible without losing the elegance of melodic lines, harmonic richness, and the characteristic dance-like character of the period.
Designed to facilitate learning, the book is based on notation consistent with Carol Barratt's Classic Piano Course method and adopts a more readable layout, particularly comfortable for sight-reading. The fingerings guide hand placement and help build good technical habits (slurs, articulations, right hand/left hand balance), while the biographies provide context about the composers and refine interpretation.
Thanks to the CD, you have a reliable sound model to work on expressiveness, rhythmic regularity, and phrasing, both at home and in lessons. The collection is suitable for pianists at Grade 1 to 3 level and includes "Canon in D," "Air on the G String," "Hallelujah Chorus," "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring," as well as excerpts from Vivaldi's Four Seasons.
