Synopsis

Building on the success of volume one, this second volume of the Ardmore classical piano sheet music anthology provides another suggested repertoire of classical piano works suitable for beginning to intermediate pianists, with some advanced material included.

This carefully selected 260-page anthology of classical piano sheet music surveys some of the world's most popular, entertaining, and accessible classical piano works. This collection emphasizes works that are relatively easy to play but are lyrical and entertaining, to help maintain the interest of piano students at varying levels of competence.

Famous beginning works include the Minuet in G by Bach (attributed to Petzhold), Bach's Musette in D, the Sonata Facile by Mozart, Gymnopedie by Satie, and selections from Clementi Sonatinas. More advanced works include all Fifteen Two-Part Inventions by Bach, Golliwog's Cakewalk from Children's Corner by Debussy, the first Transcendental Etude of Liszt, and some Scarlatti Sonatas. Various Minuets and Sonatinas by Beethoven, some preludes by Chopin, and some pieces by Moussorgsky, Bartok, Schubert and Schumann keep the selection interesting.

This anthology is designed to stimulate the student to progress from a beginning level to a more advanced level and beyond. This collection of newly typeset sheet music is an economical way of acquiring a classical piano sheet music collection that includes a core selection of the piano repertoire, and provides a springboard for further exploring the complex world of classical music.

Other pieces include the Chromatic Fantasy by Bach, Mazurka, Op.33, No.2 by Chopin, selections from the Goldberg Variations by Bach, a Polonaise by Mozart, the Promenade from Pictures at an Exhibition by Moussorgsky, Sonata in G Major K.146 by Scarlatti, a selection of piano exercises from Hanon's The Virtuouso Pianist, the Raindrop Prelude by Chopin, and various other works...over 260 pages!
