Summary of This Book
Piano Piccolo was designed as an entry point for beginners into the Für Elise collection (ED 20044) of the Pianissimo series. This collection brings together 111 short original classical music pieces, all conceived to remain very accessible technically while developing good reading and musicality habits. It includes a wide range of forms and characters (minuets, bourrées, gavottes, dances, ariettas, lullabies, small sonatinas, descriptive pieces), allowing varied objectives for each session: articulation, phrasing, sense of rhythm, dynamics, and initial stylistic intentions.
The content spans several eras, with works by more than sixty composers: Baroque colors (Purcell, Böhm, Bach, Händel), Classical elegance (Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Diabelli, Weber), pedagogical Romantic miniatures (Schubert, Schumann, Czerny, Gurlitt, Reinecke), up to more modern and imaginative pages (Satie, Stravinsky, Hindemith, Orff, Kabalevsky, Shostakovich). This diversity makes it an excellent teaching resource for beginners, returning piano students, or amateur musicians wishing to rediscover the pleasure of playing short, expressive, and immediately rewarding pieces. Thanks to its progressive and varied repertoire, Piano Piccolo also serves as a valuable source of pieces for preparing a small performance, an audition, or simply building a coherent and musical "easy piano" program.
