ABOUT THE ART ‘The circles on the front cover represent how artistic concepts from the different eras overlapped: (The image on the upper left depicts the Baroque era, and the image on the upper right depicts the Classical; the bottom left image depicts the Romantic era, while the image on the bottom right represents the Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries.) Concepts from the different eras overlapped in music as well. Some composers used forms and harmonies from the past, while others forged to the future and some did both! You will notice that some pieces, written in one era, use compositional techniques similar to the preceding era. For an in-depth look at the musical characteristies of every era, please see the Succeeding with the Masters® collections—Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and ‘Twentieth-Century. PREPARATORY.

This nine-volume series is designed to give students and teachers a great variety of fabulous repertoire from the Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Twentieth /Twenty-First Centuries. The series is carefully leveled from preparatory through advanced repertoire. These pieces are true crowd pleasers and will showcase students’ technical and musical abilities. Each level covers the gamut of your repertoire needs, from works that showcase power and bravura, to pieces that develop a student's sense of control and finesse. Having a wide selection of works with pedagogically-correct leveling will help make your repertoire selections easier and your students’ performances more successful. Bach book includes recordings of all of the corresponding works to guide students in their interpretation, ‘The editing in the scores reflects these performances. While the performances are consistent with the editing in the books, and vice versa, they also demonstrate an appropriate degree of interpretive license. My goal is to instill an appreciation for accurate performances, while nurturing a sense for stylistically appropriate interpretive license. Preparatory level through book six were recorded by Helen Marlais, and books seven and eight were recorded by Helen Marlais, Chit-Ling Lin, and Frances Renzi, giving students at these higher levels the opportunity to hear three different performance styles. ‘The Festioal Collection’ is a companion series to the Succeeding with the Masters’ series. Succeeding with the ‘Masters’ provides the student with practice strategies and valuable information about the musical characteristics of each eta. The Festival Collection’ expands the repertoire selection with numerous additional top-drawer pedagogical works in a wide array of styles, and with different musical and technical demands. There is no duplication of repertoire between these two series. All of the pieces in both series are motivational and exciting for stucents to learn as well as for teachers to teach! Enjoy the series!
