This collection of 25 selected works and illustrated biography is appropriate for presenting students to their first works by Beethoven. The compositions were selected based on their pedagogical value, compiled mainly from Beethoven's collections of dances, in addition to the two Sonatinas in G and F, the Six Variations on a Swiss Song, and two easier Bagatelles. A "Guide to Playing Beethoven" has been included at the end of the book. Here a comprehensive yet straightforward explanation has been given to all stylistic and performance questions, such as dynamics, tempo, and ornamentation.
