Best Collection for Adult Piano Students: 30 of the most important and beloved classical piano pieces

Why this collection?  

These are the editions I created and use for myself and my adult piano students. They are not "arrangements" or simplifications in any way. They are better described as "clarifications" with clean page layouts and comprehensive fingering.  

These editions enable students to encounter the composers "face to face" by stripping away antiquated publishing conventions.  Traditional editions, especially the economical older ones, prevent students from being able to prepare and perform the beloved music, rather than enabling and supporting successful performance.       

Traditional piano music publications suffer from two fatal flaws:  (1) the economic need to "save paper" resulting in page layouts that are too dense, and which compound the problem by obfuscating the natural 2 and 4 bar structures of music, and (2) the absence of technical solutions (fingering).    

The exception in this collection is the arrangement of the Pachelbel Canon in D, because it was not originally composed for keyboard.
