Much care was given to grading, editing and most of all, student appeal in the Essential Keyboard Repertoire Series. Each volume includes selections from the Baroque to Modern periods, each in its original form. Standard favorites are included, along with a sampling of works which were infrequently performed prior to the introduction of these collections. Editing is based on sound teaching principles to facilitate performance and study. This edition includes 95 early to late intermediate miniatures that are each one to two pages in length. The comb binding creates a lay-flat book that is perfect for study and performance. 144 pages.
