Synopsis
Unlock the beauty of piano music through careful study and guided analysis.

The book connects theory to performance, showing how the structure of a piece shapes expression and feeling.

Product Description
Excerpt from The Musician: A Guide for Pianoforte Students, Helps Towards the Better Understanding and Enjoyment of Beautiful Music
An essential feature of the book is that it accompanies the pianist throughout the entire course of study, supplying explanations and analyses of each separate piece. In this way pupils are led to understand how music is built up; how one part grows naturally out of another; and by what devices unity of feeling and balance of parts are brought about.
The whole work is divided into Six Grades, distinguished by the varying degrees of difficulty in the pieces analysed. The following list indicates the first (and easiest) piece in each successive Grade.
