Synopsis

First Lessons in Bach – Complete Books I and II brings together the traditional Schirmer editions into a single, accessible piano collection ideal for late elementary to early intermediate pianists. This carefully compiled volume presents Johann Sebastian Bach’s most enduring miniatures, including minuets, polonaises, gavottes, marches, and preludes, providing a structured path for developing reading, timing, and expressive skills. Each piece is presented in clear standard notation with suggested fingerings, offering a reliable foundation for learning and performance.

The book contains a total of 28 pieces, spanning both Books I and II, and is designed to guide students through progressively challenging material while reinforcing technical development. From the charming Minuet in G Major to the elegant Bourrée in E Minor and the spirited Scherzo in A Minor, every composition encourages precision, musicality, and interpretive growth. The compilation is fully playable as a solo piano resource, making it perfect for private practice, lessons, or performance preparation.
