The Willis Music Company The Classical Piano Solos Collection

Summary of This Collection

This collection is conceived as a true "library" of piano pieces, carefully selected and organized to illustrate the four major periods of classical music. You will find a very useful balance between particularly accessible teaching pieces and richer pages worthy of recital repertoire. This approach allows for consolidating technique, sight-reading, and interpretation while developing a solid musical culture.

The selection covers a wide aesthetic spectrum: articulation and clarity of the Baroque, elegance and structure of Classical styles, Romantic expressiveness, followed by harmonic colors and atmospheres of the 20th century. The transition from one style to another is accompanied by indications and style characteristics to help the student adapt their touch, pedaling, and phrasing according to the musical language addressed.

Designed as a reference tool for piano teachers, this volume facilitates lesson preparation and the construction of a progressive program: the level-based organization makes the increase in difficulty smooth and motivating. The notation/level is similar to John Thompson's Modern Course for the Piano, allowing easy integration into an existing curriculum and achieving rapid progress.

Consultation is simple and efficient thanks to an easy-to-use table of contents and indexes, perfect for quickly choosing a piece suited to a specific goal (work on legato, hand independence, musicality, or audition preparation). Subtitle: 106 Graded Pieces from Baroque to the 20th Century.
