Summary of This Collection
This collection brings together 19 pieces of easy to intermediate difficulty, designed to accompany the student in exploring the "sonatina" form and its codes: phrasing, articulation, balance of hands, and rhythmic setup. The selection alternates pages from the great repertoire (notably sonatinas attributed to Mozart and Beethoven) and more didactic works, offering a natural and musical progression. Included are, for example, "Sonatina - Three Little Pieces" (Diabelli), "Sonatina Op.36 No.1" (Clementi), "Sonatina Op.27 No.16" (Kabalevsky), "Sonatina A Minor" (Benda), "Sonatina Op.55 No.1" (Kuhlau), as well as character pieces like "Circus Sonatina" (Reiman) or "Sonatinetta Children At Play" (Nazarova). This content is perfect for daily musicality practice, preparing for auditions, or simply varying pleasures with an accessible and rewarding repertoire.
