This album is a special edition not only due to its very affordable price but also because it features a cross section of Bärenreiter’s extensive piano catalogue.

The pieces and movements range from the 18th century through to the first decades of the 20th century. During these approximately 200 years keyboard playing developed considerably and together with the unstoppable rise of the pianoforte since the end of the 18th century, it became hugely popular.

The fifteen composers who are represented in this edition have each, in their inimitable way, shaped the possibilities of sound and playing techniques of this instrument in their works. In our piano collection you will find compositions from the Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Early Modern eras. The pieces also vary in national style and range from low through to high technical difficulty.

  • March 20, 2020 Fun music!

    This is a wonderful variety of compositions. From Brahms to Satie, there is surely a piece for anyone's tastes! This is definately intermediate music, with large and/or fast hand movement, and many accidentals. I really enjoy playing the pieces in this book!

  • December 23, 2019 A tasty sampler

    Almost 2 dozen pieces from Bach and Brahms to Satie and Schumann, Debussy, Smetana, and many others. A terrific bargain with works taken from the publisher’s ur-text editions, beautifully printed and easy on the eyes. If all you wanted was Debussy’s Footsteps in the Snow, or Schubert...

    ’s wonderful Hungarian Melody, you could spend a few dollars on it and get all the rest for free!
