Other Notes & Comments

More difficult than the one above, they are also more modern in idiom.
Each can be used both as repertory and as teaching material. Little
prelude in Waltz time can be used to teach both about form and rhythm,
Baroque bounce likewise can be used to discuss what is Baroque,
Echoes of the blues introduces the blues scales, and Ragtime doll is
This is for the total beginner, and can be taught on the very first lesson.
RH play a steady even ostinato using only the note E, while the left hand
plays the melody which consists only of ABC in different orders and
simple rhythms. Excellent for sight-reading, for hand independence, for
expressive playing and for bringing up a melody on the left hand. It can
These are ten easy pieces, each one covering a dance style on the 18th
century. This is excellent for rhythm development and to introduce the
student to old dance patterns (which keep recurring on the piano
4th mvt from Suite Espaola no 1, Op 47
no 7 from Recuerdos de Viaje, Op 71
From Iberia
Scale fragments
Alberti patterns
Broken arpeggios
Very good for finger articulation/
independence.
Similar in difficulty to the above, this set of pieces uses modern harmonies
to tell stories, so it is a very good introduction to how and why chords and
intervals can elicit different emotions (for instance, The spider uses
tritons to build up suspense, and Bees and Flies uses chromatic
A collection of 10 pieces for the complete beginner, most you can teach at
the first lesson. The interesting thing here is that they use the whole
keyboard and introduce patterns that frequently appear in the more
advanced pieces, so they are excellent preparatory pieces. Again very
More difficult than the previous two, this is thoroughly contemporary music
- and let us face it, contemporary music is not the most appealing to
beginners but this is a good introduction since it is not too radically
Andante
1st mvt
3rd mvt
Andante
2nd mvt, Allegro
Gavotte in B flat
1st mvt, Presto
This has to be the first sonatina to be learned. Grown ups may not find it
so useful, but for the below 10 is a great repertory. The second movement
is the easiest, but also dull. The first and third movements are excellent.
2nd mvt, Minuetto and 3 variations

This minuet is meant to be played with the Minuet in Gm in ABA form
(minuet in G minuet in Gm minuet in G).
Excellent piece to introduce canon (round) writing. It is a perfect
introduction to 2 voice inventions which are far too difficult for a beginner.
Beautiful lyrical minuet, reflective and slow. This minuet is meant to be
played with the previous one in ABA form (minuet in G minuet in Gm
minuet in G). For beginners omit the ornamentation. For more advanced
players there is a lot of scope for learning the art of ornamentation with
Excellent piece for the virtuoso to be (very easy but impressive), with
daring skips on the LH and fast runs on the RH. A favorite with kids.

A beautiful prelude based on broken triads, this is very easy (but not as

An excellent study in arpeggios for both RH and LH and a great
introduction to question and answer writing. Only 16 bars long
No 8 of 'Twelve Little Preludes'
For the budding virtuoso. Very effective at a fast speed, but equally
beautiful at a much slower tempo. The repetitive figuration in broken triads
Eighteen Little Preludes'
From 'Kurze und leichte Clavierstcke', Wq 113/3

From Anna Magdalena

2nd mvt
Almost forgotten these days and almost never played, his sonatas are real
gems. Again, all of the sonatas are around grade 7-8, so you should be
from 'The Anna Magdalena Bach Book of 1725'
Only 16 bars long, this beautiful aria can be easily learned by a beginner
and then be used at a later stage to teach improvised ornamentation.
Theme and Variations
Chromatic and highly atmospheric if you want poetic and romantic and
yet modern look no further.

Six Variations on Nel cor pi non mi sento WoO 70

Sonata 01. Op. 49 no. 2 (Easy)

Extremely complex advanced work requiring the utmost pianism. This
sonata was written for Horowitz. Originally it had only the first three
movements, but Horowitz insisted that Barber write a flashy finale for it,
(no. 1 - Love Song is a beautiful song without words) and his very lyrical
and nostalgic Nocturne which is written with modern harmonies but
no 152 from Mikrokosmos vol 6
No 4 from 'Romanian Christmas Carols', Series 1
Allegretto
Pierrot & Pierrette (from op. 25) is a wonderful waltz with a beautiful
melody and unusual harmony, very easy and yet it sounds very
professional.
My favourite though is Secrets (also from op. 25) where arpeggio
figurations are divided between the hands so that they are (almost) never
They are probably more suited to the later beginner (6 months one year
These are one-page very easy pieces (grade 1) that Beethoven most
likely wrote as pedagogical material for is pupils.
These are actually to be played as a single piece. This is a two page affair
(3 pages depending on the edition), and more advanced than the other
two (around grade 4/5). It sounds far more difficult.
However I find this sonata a bit dull (Beethoven thought so too

Op. 49/1 being far more musical (the rondo is a real gem). It is a bit more
difficult though. Both of these however are not quite full-fledged sonatas
(they were most likely composed as exercises for his students).
Why not stretch a bit and try Op. 79, which is a real sonata, and quite
beautiful (the second movement is wonderful). It is considered to be
around grade 7, but if you can manage grade 5 pieces, you can manage

Legato playing
Cantabile
Exhilarating and athletic piece with fast arpeggios divided between the
hands and hand crossings on the second part. This is a one-movement
sonatina (only 49 bars long) that sounds much more difficult than it
A one movement sonata that although supposedly in B minor is actually a

chromatic work. Once you get used to it, it is very beautiful and lyrical.
Bloch composed a set of ten very interesting pieces called Enfantines, for
his daughters. They are not for beginners though, except the first one,
which may be tackled by a late beginner (6 months 1 year of lessons):
Impressionistic writing, this is a very expressive piece that allows for the
introduction of several concepts: Modes (the piece is written in the
Aeolian mode), legato playing (the piece requires that one finger be held
while the other fingers of the same hand play the melody above it),

Paul Frederick Bowles: These are really for intermediate students, but I
could not resist including it. These are excellent arrangements of classical
American folk tunes. Truly enchanting pieces.
Beautiful and haunting

Range from the fast and fun Michael to the beautiful Daphne
(from 10 Pices Pittoresques)

(from 10 Pices Pittoresques)
Idylle - the RH is almost as busy as the LH in this delightful piece. The LH
mostly plays broken octaves, skipping over two octaves. Excellent for skip
accuracy. And it is a wonderful, hauntingly beautiful piece.

This is my favourite of the three (and the most difficult).
Tonal music but with lots of chromaticism and strong rhythms. These are
all short pieces, good as encores.
Dedication is just one page long and very beautiful.
Notturno is haunting and yet not the usual nocturne pattern (Lyric pieces,

Impressionistic, tonal music.
A study in broken chords very effective in performance.
The melody is in the LH while the RH accompanies with syncopated
chords. Excellent for teaching how to voice between the hands.
Beautiful piece with the accompaniment equally divided between both

hands and the melody played with fingers 4-5 of the RH. Excellent
preparation for similar figuration in the more advanced repertory (e.g.
Mendelssohns Song without words op. 19 no.1). Although easy, it is for
Beautiful chorale in three voices, will prepare for four voice chorales. Very

Allegro (5) Menuet (2/3) Andante (2/3)- A wonderful slow and lyrical
movement. Omit the ornaments for the early beginners. Very easy, but
due to the unexpected skips it teaches one to think ahead. Finalle:
Allegro (2/3 or less) This is a fast exhilarating movement, very short, very
repetitive in its broken chord figurations. Excellent for forearm rotation and
bringing the bass melody over the mist of sound created by the very fast
RH. Hands swap figurations occasionally, so both hands get a workout. If
Allegro (5) Menuet and Trio (4) Scherzo (2) For the budding virtuoso.
Beginners can easily master this movement at slow speed. More
advanced beginners can start working on speed. Lots of
learning/practicing tricks can be learned as one studies this piece. (How

25 easy pieces very romantic, most less than a page long. I like no. 10
Spanish dance, melody on the RH, LH rhythmic repeated chords. As you
know beginners have difficulty with chords, so this is a good one.
Although Brazilian by birth, Oswald spent most of his life in Europe, so his
music is completely European, with much French influence. All of his work
from the Short-tempered clavier. A hilarious fugue with chopsticks on the
RH and very fast scales over two octaves on the LH. An excellent encore.
no 6 from 'Villageois'
no 2 from Les Soires de Nazelles
No.2 from 'Villageoises'

from Trois Pices
they are not that easy but not that difficult either. Poetic and romantic.
No. 2 Gavotte requires a large hand span.
No. 6 Legende Slow, lyrical piece, slightly reminiscent of Scriabin
No. 7 Prelude My favourite. A beautiful, magical piece with a fast
broken chord accompaniment creating a mist of sound around the right
hand melody. Very impressive (watch out for the glissandi!). This piece
No. 10 Scherzo A wonderful show-off piece (probably too difficult, but
what the heck, I love it!) full of tension and nervous energy jumping all
Moderato Lots of crossing hands. Main difficulty is pedal use.

Sostenuto the most difficult of the lot. The melody is in the left hand
while the right hand plays a repeated (but complex) dotted rhythm pattern.
Promenade Joyful and bouncy
Historiette
Tarantella Fast and rhythmical with a melodic middle section. Sounds
much more difficult than it actually is.
Waltz - A nice little waltz with unexpected turns of the harmony.
Wonderfully tonal and yet very modern.

Wonderful, lyrical piece, much closer to Griegs Notturno in form and

feeling than to Chopins or Fields.
(D minor - Allegro) This is actually a two voice invention. Fast and delicate
with lots of thirds and scale runs on the right hand, but no difficulty at all in
the left hand. Difficult to play at full speed but easy if played slowly (and
(A minor - Presto) Electrical piece with ultra fast scale rushes. Looks
easy on the page, but wait until you try to play it up to tempo
(G minor Allegro) In spite of the tempo indication this is a slow, lyrical
sonata. Melancholic and intense.
(G major Presto) Fast and brilliant with a catchy, rhythmical theme on
repeated notes. One of my favourites.
(G major Presto) Looking for fast (very fast) scale runs interspersed with
a beautiful staccato melody? Look no further than this sparkling gigue.

Interpretation/Expression

(E major Presto) Virtuosistic sonata that is the sort of expected
Scarlatti: guitar imitation, Spanish rhythms, fast scales in thirds, repeated
notes and lots of ornaments. Great show off piece. If you want to develop
a certain kind of technique, burn the Czerny and play this sonata instead.
(A major - Allegro) Virtuoso piece alternating relatively calm sections
(F# minor Allegro) A not too fast, beautiful two voice invention that
moves in a relentless way with one of the most beautiful motifs of all
sonatas. Crossing hands. Broken chords figuration in both hands.
(B minor Allegro) This is my all time favourite Scarlatti sonata. A
masterpiece. Surprisingly romantic, could very well have been composed
by someone like Schubert. Very untypical Scarlatti. Achingly beautiful
(G minor - Moderato) A beautiful and complex fugue.
(D minor Aria) Lyrical sonata much easier than it sounds. Slow and
melancholic. Although just one page long it requires some musical
maturity to be truly effective. This is an ideal piece to open a recital, since
it is slow and introspective it will calm you down. This is a real gem. Only
24 bars long, technically unchallenging (grade 3), and yet one of the most
A slow thoughtful piece, only 28 bars long
(A major Allegro) Fast and furious, full of nervous energy. Excellent for
waking up the audience! Figurations are shared equally by both hands.
Excellent Czerny replacement and superior warm up piece. Equally
A nice minuet only a page long (24 bars) amongst the easiest of
(G minor Allegrissimo) Ferocious and virtuosistic sonata.
(E major Presto) This one of my favourite fast sonatas. As the Cheyene
Indians found of saying it makes my heart soar like a hawk. One of the
most catchy motifs amongst all sonatas it makes one wish to dance and
(D minor Andante moderato) Wonderful sonata, lyrical and devotional,
uplifting and tranquil. Written (mostly) in 3-voice counterpoint. Another
(A minor Allegro) After a typical plaintive start in A minor, it suddenly
displays a most romantic theme. Very unusual sonata. The main difficulty
is to be found in the several bars where the hands cross. There are some
(G major Allegro) Also known as Capriccio, this is celebratory, joyful
and uplifting music that is much easier to play than it sounds. An all time
favourite. Wide skips, echo effects, but fits the hand surprisingly well.
(D minor Allegro) A determined and energetic gavotte, one of
Scarlattis most played and well known pieces.
(F# minor Allegro) Toccatta like, this is a fast, dazzling sonata ideal for
an encore. One of my favourites.
(F minor) My favourite amongst the slow, lyrical sonatas, this is a
hauntingly beautiful piece with a complex polyphonic texture difficult to
read but easy to play. Spend sometime analysing its structure before
(Bb major - Allegro ) A two voice invention (with a third voice intruding on
the last two bars of the first part), this is excellent for finger and hand
(D minor Moderato e cantabile minuet) Painfully nostalgic and
evocative lyrical sonata followed by a lively minuet. A masterpiece.
(B minor - Andante ) Intensely lyrical work of great musical depth.
Couterpoint in three and four parts. Said to be Horowitz favourite Scarlatti
(D major Allegro) Another typical Scarlatti sonata (similar to the
overplayed K 380). Richly textured. It has everything in it: Horn calls, fast
repeated notes, trills, suspensions, cross relations, parallel fifths, big
(E minor Alegrissimo) Wonderful study in rhythm with unexpected
developments, suspensions and syncopations.
(C minor - ) A beautiful , tranquil and lyrical sonata that grows in
emotional intensity as it develops.
(A minor Adagio) Beautiful lyrical writing in three and four part
couterpoint. Excellent as a study in voicing. Recital material for the
(Bb major - Allegro) A beautiful, lyrical sonata. Crossing hands.

(D major Allegro) Another sonata ideally suited to replace some of the
common technical studies. Fast repeated notes, broken chords,
arpeggios, leaps, crossing hands, scale runs. This unusual, percussive
watch out for the castanet sounds! - sonata has a very catchy, dancing
(D minor Allegro) A fast sonata full of nervous energy, this is the cross
hand piece to end all cross hand pieces! Leaping bass figures, double
(Eb major Allegro) Joyful and uplifting.
(G major Allegro) Tired of practising arpeggios? Try this sonata instead.
A breezy arpeggio study with very fast triplet semiquavers. Uplifting and
extroverted. Go and jump on a lake, Hanon!.
(G major Vivo) This non-stop sonata will not allow you to catch your
breath! Great fun to play and an excellent virtuosistic piece to end a recital
on a high note. If you are looking for a Czerny alternative look no further:
it is a study for the left hand plus repeated notes, broken thirds, sixths and
(C major Cantabile )A slow (well, sort of) A lyrical sonata with
beautiful lush harmonies, haunting dissonances and arpeggios that are
suddenly interrupted by a heart wrenching delicate melody based on
(E major Allegro) Dazzling finger work alternating with slow episodes in
4-voice counterpoint. Catchy and uplifiting.
(D minor Allegro) A masterpiece. A fast toccata with lots of repeated
notes over long stretches. Broken chords and skips. Virtuosic with
dissonant guitar strumming in the left hand and lots of cross hands.
(G major Allegretto) 3/8 A nice little menuet full of humour and light.
Although it sounds dazzling and virtuosic it is much easier than it sounds.
Main difficulty are the fast alternating hands.
(E minor Lento) A beautiful lyrical and reflective sonata.
(E major - Andante) After a slow, lyrical beginning all hell breaks loose,
and a fast, dazzling sonata ensues with occasional returns to the slow
(A minor Allegro) A vigorous impulsive sonata with most of the finger
work on the right hand. The left hand (which demands a hand span
covering at least an octave) plays sonorous chords and tone clusters
with up to ten notes! imitating the strumming of a guitar. This Sonata
was composed in 1752. Here Scarlatti succeeds in making conventional
harmonies with slight changes sound quite extraordinary for the period.
The Sonata has real Spanish character with vitality and bravura.
(E flat major - Allegretto) A beautiful, lyrical sonata not too slow.
(B minor - Andante) Sonata in a lyric, cantabile style, moderately
flowing. Expansive, sonorous qualities.
(E minor Allegro) A masterpiece. Dramatic and powerful, this 2 voice
invention (with a third voice intruding on 4 bars near the start of the
second part) is still effective at a slower tempo. One of my favourites.
K201 is also excellent to replace technical exercises dealing with
arpeggions and thirds
(E minor 3/8) Beautiful sonata with most of the figurations on one
hand at a time. An insistent and catchy motif keeps bringing the sonata
together. Unusual syncopations. Requires a sizeable hand span and
(A major Andante e cantabile) Lyrical sonata, with a hauntingly
beautiful melody and compelling harmonic progressions. Tranquil and
(A major Allegro) Uplifiting sonata, not too fast.
(D minor - Andante ) Another of my favourites amongst the lyrical
sonatas. A slow, full-of-longing melody increases gradually in intensity up
to an unusual harmonic climax. Great to play and to listen to.
(E major Andante) Sudden shifts of key abound in this sonata.
(F minor - Allegro ) An excellent dance piece full of Spanish rhythms.
(C# minor Allegro) Beautiful lyrical sonata (slightly reminiscent of K
69) with a weaving three voice counterpoint. Enharmonic modulations and
(G major Andante) A two and three voice invention. Lyrical and
tranquil. Slightly reminiscent of K 208.

(F# major Andante) An unusual key that suggests that Scarlatti was
familiar with equal temperament tuning. A lyrical and calm sonata.
(Amajor - Allegro ) A delicate, joyful sonata with a Mozartian flavour.

sonata has most of its impressive finger work in the right hand. Excellent
for finger control and co-ordination, it is actually much easier than it

(A major) Beautiful lyrical sonata and technically undemanding.
(A major Allegro) Based on a Spanish Buleria (a kind of Tarantella).
(C major Allegro). This is joyful music that makes you want to skip and
jump and dance! This is the kind of music that makes you smile for hours
after listening to it. This cures depression, serious! Great for your trills and
(C major Allegro) One of my favourites, this is a brilliant and dazzling
sonata with plenty of repeated notes. It is said to represent children
(G minor Andante) Another beautiful lyrical sonata, deeply reflective and
tranquil, and not at all melancholic. Rich textures and highly musical. Very
good as a study in long phrases. Sudden dramatic silences.
(G major Prestissimo) Wonderfully exhilarating sonata, both to play and
to listen to. The tempo direction (as fast as possible) gives you an idea
of what to expect. A really electric and uplifting work requiring pianism of
the utmost degree. Has a recurring motif that is incredibly joyful and
catchy. My favourite fast sonata. (But only if you play it at top speed. It is

(G major Andante spirituoso) After a calm opening and nice little folk-like
tune this sonata goes onto a breathless sequence of scurrying scales and
broken chords over the entire length of the keyboard on both hands.
(C major Allegro) A beautiful sonata full of guitar sounds and Spanish
nostalgia. A fast introduction is followed by a most evocative second part.
(F minor Andante moderato) - A masterpiece. Beautiful, slow lyrical
sonata. As it is often the case with the lyrical sonatas, this one elicits
tranquillity and peacefulness rather than melancholy and grief. Excellent

major. On the second part changes meter to 2/4 and returns to 3/8 at the
(D major Allegro) A masterpiece. This is a 2 voice invention with the
figurations equally distributed between the hands. Urgent and dramatic it
will still be effective at a slower tempo. Technical problems are minimal.
(C major Pastorale: Moderato Molto allegro Presto) One of the few
sonatas written in different movements (tempos). Shepherd pipes and
bagpipes drones are imitated. The final movement (presto) is exhilarating
and virtuosic. This Pastorale was composed in 1756 during Scarlatti's late
period. It recalls the piping of the shepherds who came down into Rome
from the surrounding hills at Christmas time. They begin in a moderate
(D minor Prestissimo 2/2) Another fast and furious sonata that can
easily replace any technical study. With a typical baroque figuration
shared by both hands, this one is ideal for scales, broken chords and
close position passage work, and excellent for finger independence and
(Bb major Cantabile) A beautiful aria, this lyrical sonata is a real gem.
With occasional 4-voice couterpoint it has dignified, overlapping phrases.
(G minor) Written in 2 and 3 parts, this is another lyrical, melancholic
sonata with a beautiful, flowing melody. Recorded by Benjamin Frith for
(G major Allegro) Lively and imposing sonata with a beautiful recurring
motif. Two voice invention (with an occasional third voice) equally shared
between hands. Effective at a slower tempo. Great warm up.

Fantaisie No 12 in B flat

Allegro non troppo - If no. 5 was Czerny for the right hand, this is for the
left hand. The right hand crosses over frequently. Not as dissonant as the
others. Fast LH figurations (not dissimilar to Czerny) in a moto perpetuo
Arguably the best of the set, very lugubrious, making full use of the
pianos orchestral sounds. Actually I read somewhere that Stokowski
made an orchestral version of this prelude (I havent heard it though).
A very nice waltz, with the typical waltz accompaniment first on the right
hand, then on the left. Very jolly.
Another humorous piece, march-like, with lots of wrong-note writing.
A lyrical slow piece.
Another lyrical piece vaguely reminiscent of Mendelssohns Venetian Boat
Nice end piece, gavotte style, quite funny.
If you like Scarlatti you will like Soler. A disciple of Scarlatti, Soler
composed 300 sonatas similar in style.
If you are after virtuoso, complex music, look no further. Romantic and
impressionistic at the same time. three very difficult tone poems.
If you are after virtuoso, complex music, look no further. Romantic and
impressionistic at the same time. Some highly lyric, some dramatic.
Not all pieces are for beginners. The easier are no. 1 Morning prayer a
four voice chorale, no.7 The sick doll which is very easy, but the melody
is on the second beat of the bar, so it requires attention to voicing, no. 8
The dolls burial very slow and heavy; no. 21 Daydream, very good to
learn how to do offbeat chord accompaniment and no. 24 In Church,
From 'Album for the Young'


No. 6 Very fast, repetitive arpeggio figurations on the LH. Modern yet tonal
and with a minimalist idiom.
