Lyric Preludes In Romantic Style. (24 Short Piano Pieces in All Keys). By William L. Gillock. For solo piano. Piano Collection; Piano Supplemental. Form: Prelude. Classical Period and 20th Century. SMP Level 5 (Intermediate). Collection. Standard notation, fingerings and introductory text (does not include words to the songs). 36 pages. Published by Alfred Music Publishing (AP.0649).

Lyric Preludes is an introduction to the whole Romantic period -- from Chopin and Schumann to Brahms and Debussy. Like Chopin, Gillock has written 24 preludes featuring all major and minor keys. But his preludes aren't just imitations of other composer's styles, they are valid, original works. An essential book for all pianists.
This title has selections that range in difficulty from SMP Level 4-5.
