Summary of This Book
Anthology Of Piano Music Volume 2: The Classical Period, prepared by Denes Agay, offers a coherent selection of forty-four representative works of Classical piano music. The collection juxtaposes famous pieces with rarer ones to build a rich repertoire, useful both in lessons and personal practice.
You will find a great diversity of writing styles: bagatelles and character pieces (including "Fur Elise"), sonatas and selected movements (Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven), variations, minuets, dances, and rondos. This variety allows for an approach to the fundamentals of the Classical style: clarity of voices, phrase balance, precision of attacks, ornamentation management, and sense of form.
Beyond the scores, the book includes biographical sketches of the composers and a glossary, useful for contextualizing each piece and clarifying encountered terms. Notable titles include the "Adagio in B minor K.540," Beethoven's bagatelles (op. 33, op. 119, op. 126), Clementi sonatinas, as well as works by Hummel, Dussek, Diabelli, Cramer, Turk, and Kuhlau.
