he greatAustrian composer Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) visited London twice during the 1790s. There the last 12 symphonies that he composed, he so-called'Iondon symphonies, all received their flrst performance to great acclaim. The second of the 12, No. 94 in G (1791), was nicknamed be'suprise- Symphony soon after its fust performance due to the sudden/orfissimo chord for ftrll orchestra that wakes up a drowsy audience lgring the quiet string theme of the slow movement. That theme, together with its 'surprise' in b. 16, is given here in a piano arrangement. t2D10 byTheAssociated Board ofthe Royal Schools ofMusic

Iames Hook (1746-1827) was precociously gifted as a child. He played keyboard concertos in his native town of Norwich at the age of six and had composed a ballad opera by the age of eight. He spent most of his adult life as an organist in London. Gauotta is Italian for 'gavotte', a dance of pastoral character in moderate duple time. In this gavotte all slurs and dynamics are editorial suggestions only.

Pauline HaIl studied at the Royal Academy of Music before embarking on a teaching career. It was while she was teaching in Harrogate, North Yo*shire, that she felt the need for a piano tutor that made learning fun, while progressing at the pace of her slowest learner. She started by writing little tunes in pupils' notebooks, which formed the basis ofher Tunes for Tbn Fingers and from which her Piano Time series - from which "Iarantelld is taken - was developed. The tarantella is a folk dance from southern Italy in a quick 6/8 time. Dancing it was said to cure the bite of a tarantula, but the name of the dance is infuctderivedfrom the town ofTaranto.
