42 Famous Classics Arranged for Easy Piano

Great Melodie, well simplified. Putting selections in order of difficulty would help music teachers.

I use this book all the time. It's great as repetoire for beginner students with an interest in classical music, and equally useful as quick-turnaround reading practice pieces for early-intermediate students. There's a slight progression from easier to slightly more difficult throughout. The arrangements are also generally quite satisfying, which is not always the case for arrangements at this level.Originally I used Bergerac & Dutkanicz's "Big Book of Beginner's Piano Classics" for this purpose, but A) the quality of those arrangements is much more hit & miss, and B) there are fingering markings on almost every note in that book, which often ends up defeating the purpose of giving students lots of note-reading practice. So I switched to this book instead, and I highly recommend it!

Ok

I'm enjoying this anthology of easy piano arrangements of well-known classical music. Some are very easy and others require a little more ability. Great for those in the mid-to-late beginner level or perhaps beginning intermediate level. I find many of the pieces a good practicing tool to increase my skill, especially in the left hand. The book is generous in fingerings to help the learning pianist. The selections are short, one to two pages, and cover most famous composers. I find it enjoyable to play without a great deal of work or skill needed!

I use this book with my beginning piano students and am very happy with it--I only wish it had existed when I was a student! Yes, it's a "fakebook" in that the songs aren't the original compositions and have often been transposed into a less challenging key. But as an introduction to classical music, this book is wonderful for helping them learn the typical structure, tone, and sound of each composer. It also gives them pieces they can be proud to play for friends and relatives who want to know how their piano lessons are coming along. Most people will recognize at least a few of the songs in this book, which can help beginning students gain confidence as they show off their ability to play a famous classical piece.As a very easy book for beginners who are interested in classical piano training, this is a great learning tool. I even occasionally play from it just for fun; the arrangements are well done and quite true to the originals. Highly recommended.

This is a perfect book to accompany a beginner learner. The pieces are arranged in order from easiest to more challenging, so you can follow along in the book by yourself as you progress through your regular lessons. My only criticism so far is that some of the arrangements are a little bizarre and not always true to the originals -- and no, I am not referring to their simplification in order to appeal to a beginner. Since many of the arrangements are only excerpts of larger pieces of work, the arranger took artistic liberty to add emotional dynamics that stray beyond what the original calls for. And it is not always successful. Aside from that, I'm happy I purchased the book.

A little too easy version of pieces…disappointed. But if you want very easy…it’s for you.

Just what I was looking for, a book that as a reasonable arrangement of classical beginner pieces. They start out easy and get harder, which is exactly what I needed.I'd recommend this for any beginner who enjoys classical music.

Parece increíble cómo el autor logra, reduciendo la dificultad de las piezas al mínimo, que se mantenga el espíritu de la obra. Todas muy bonitas. Buena selección.

I love this book. Not too complicated. A good range of pieces. I can play a number of them already to a higher grade. I have found using this book helps with my sight-reading. If you are grade 1, 2 or 3 you can't go wrong with this book. It has made me think of learning pieces I may not have considered. A good stepping stone to a more advanced version of a piece.

Per iniziare con musica classica

Está muy sencillo de tocar, solo algunas piezas un poco más difíciles, yo tengo apenas tres meses tomando clases y ya pude tocar varias de estas canciones, lo recomiendo ampliamente.

By mistake I have ordered Kindle version in lieu of paperback. Can u change it and deliver PL?
