Other Notes & Co Comments More difficult than the one above, they are also more modern in idiom. Each can be used both as repertory and as teaching material. “Little prelude in Waltz time” can be used to teach both about form and rhythm, “Baroque bounce” likewise can be used to discuss what is “Baroque”, “Echoes of the blues” introduces the blues scales, and “Ragtime doll” is This is for the total beginner, and can be taught on the very first lesson. RH play a steady even ostinato using only the note E, while the left hand plays the melody which consists only of ABC in different orders and simple rhythms. Excellent for sight-reading, for hand independence, independence, for expressive playing and for bringing up a melody on the l eft hand.

Other Notes & Co Comments A beautiful prelude based on broken triads, this is very easy (but not as effective) if you omit the s everal ornaments. These can added later on An excellent study in arpeggios for both RH and LH and a great introduction to question and answer writing. Only 16 bars long No 8 of 'Twelve Little Preludes' For the budding virtuoso. Very effective at a fast speed, but equally beautiful at a much slower tempo. The repetitive figuration in broken triads Eighteen Little Preludes'
From 'Kurze und leichte Clavierstücke', Wq 113/3 Uplifting and full of joy. No 2 from 'CPE Bach, 23 Pièces Characteristiques' Characteristiques'
From Anna Magdalena
1st mvt, Allegro assai Allegretto 1st mvt, Allegretto 3rd mvt, Allegro Allegretto 2nd mvt Almost forgotten these days and almost never played, his sonatas are real gems. Again, all of the sonatas are around grade 7-8, so you should be from 'The Anna Magdalena Bach Book of 1725' Only 16 bars long, this beautiful aria can be easily learned by a beginner and then be used at a l ater stage to teach improvised ornamentation.
Theme and Variations
Chromatic and highly atmospheric – if you want poetic and romantic and yet modern look no further.

Six Variations Variations on ‘Nel cor più non mi sento sento’’ WoO WoO 70 Sonata 01. Op. 49 no. 2 (Easy)
Other Notes & Co Comments Extremely complex – advanced work requiring the utmost pianism. This sonata was written for Horowitz. Originally it had only the first three movements, but Horowitz insisted that Barber write a flashy finale for it, (no. 1 - Love Song is a beautiful song without words) and his very lyrical and nostalgic Nocturne which is written with modern harmonies but

Allegretto
Pierrot & Pierrette (from op. 25) is a wonderful waltz with a beautiful beautiful melody and unusual harmony, very easy and yet it sounds very “professional”. My favourite though is “Secrets” (also from op. 25) where arpeggio arpeggio figurations are divided between the hands so that they are (almost) never They are probably more suited to the later beginner (6 months – one year
These are one-page very easy pieces (grade 1) that Beethoven most likely wrote as pedagogical material for is pupils.
These are actual ly ly to be pl ay ayed as a si ng ngl e piece. Thi s is a two page affai r (3 pages depending on the edition), and more advanced than the other two (around grade 4/5). It sounds far more difficult. However I find this sonata a bit dull (Beethoven thought so too

Other Notes & Co Comments Op. 49/1 being far more musical (the rondo is a real gem). It is a bit more difficult though. Both of these however are not quite full-fledged sonatas (they were most likely composed as exercises for his students).
Why not stretch a bit and try Op. 79, which is a real sonata, and quite beautiful (the second movement is wonderful). It is considered to be around grade 7, but if you can manage grade 5 pieces, you can manage

Arpeggios Hand crossing
Legato playing Cantabile
Exhilarating and athletic piece with fast arpeggios divided between the hands and hand crossings on the second part. This i s a one-movement sonatina (only 49 bars long) that sounds much more difficult than it
A one movement sonata that although supposedly in B minor is actually a chromatic work. Once you get used to it, it is very beautiful and lyrical. Bloch composed a set of ten very interesting pieces called Enfantines, for his daughters. They are not for beginners though, except the first one, which may be tackled by a late beginner (6 months – 1 year of l essons): Impressionistic writing, this is a very expressive piece that allows for the introduction of several concepts: Modes (the piece is written in the Aeolian mode), legato playing (the piece requires requires that one one finger be held while the other fingers of the same hand play the melody above it),

Beautiful and haunting Range from the fast and fun Michael to the beautiful Daphne

The mel od ody is i n the LH whi le le the RH accompanies with syncopated chords. Excellent for teaching how to voice between the hands.
Beautiful piece with the accompaniment equally divided between both hands and the melody played with fingers 4-5 of the RH. Excellent preparation for similar figuration in the more advanced repertory (e.g. Mendelssohn’s Song without words words op. 19 no.1). Although easy, it is for Beautiful chorale in three voices, will prepare for four voice chorales. Very easy. From here, go to the one below. No 18 from 'Album for the Young', Op 140 Allegro Scherzando 1st and 3rd mvts Four part chorale. Excellent to learn four part harmony and bring up the top voice in each chord.

Other Notes & Co Comments Allegro (5) Menuet Menuet (2/3) Andante Andante (2/3)- A wonderful wonderful slow and lyrical lyrical movement. Omit the ornaments for the early beginners. Very easy, but due to the unexpected skips it teaches one to think ahead. ahead. Finalle: Allegro (2/3 or less) This is a fast exhilarating exhilarating movement, very short, very very repetitive in its broken chord figurations. Excellent for forearm rotation and bringing the bass melody over the mist of sound created by the very fast RH. Hands swap figurations occasionally, so both hands get a workout. If Allegro (5) Menuet Menuet and Trio (4) (4) Scherzo (2) For the budding budding virtuoso. Beginners can easily master this movement at sl ow speed. More advanced beginners can start working on speed. Lots of learning/practicing tricks can be learned as one studies this piece.

Lovely piece very easy technically, but demanding the greatest expressivity in playing. Probably better suited to older students. Good for
Fast LH runs throughout the whole piece.

Other Notes & Co Comments
Very fast arpeggio figurati on ons on LH with a powerful mel od ody in chords on the RH. Good preparation for Chopin Op. 10 no. 12 (Revolutionary), which
‘La columbe’ from ‘8 Preludes’ ‘Plainte calme’ from ‘8 Preludes’ You cannot get much more complex (or modern) than this.
From 'The London Notebook' arguably the darkest and moodiest of all Mozart’s compositions.

As you know beginners have difficulty with chords, so this is a good one.

All of his work Although Brazilian by birth, Oswald spent most of his life in Europe, so his music is completely European, with much French influence. All of his work from the “Short-tempered clavier”. A hilarious fugue with chopsticks on the RH and very fast scales over two octaves on the LH. An excellent encore. no 6 from 'Villageois' no 2 from ‘Les Soirées de Nazelles’
No.2 from 'Villageoises' from ‘Trois Pièces’ they are not that easy… but not that difficult either. Poetic and romantic. No. 2 – Gavotte – requires a large hand span. No. 6 – Legende – Slow, lyrical piece, slightly reminiscent of Scriabin No. 7 – Prelude – My favourite. A beautiful, magical piece with a fast broken chord accompaniment creating a mist of sound around the right hand melody. Very impressive (watch out for the glissandi!). This piece No. 10 – Scherzo – A wonderful show-off piece (probably too difficult, but what the heck, I love it! ) full of tension and nervous energy jumping all
Moderato – Lots of crossing hands. Main difficulty is pedal use. Andantino Andante Assai

Other Notes & Co Comments Sostenuto – the most difficult of the lot. The melody is in the left hand while the right hand plays a repeated (but complex) dotted rhythm pattern. Promenade – Joyful and bouncy Historiette Tarantella – Fast and rhythmical with a melodic middle section. Sounds much more difficult than it actually is. Waltz - A nice little waltz with unexpected turns of the harmony. Wonderfully tonal and yet very modern. Playing tag – a fast moto perpetuo requiring good finger agility. The moon strolls in the Meadows – This is my top favourite – A beautiful, melodic piece of great delicacy with the melody played alternatively in the
Lentamente - Slow and melancholic Allegretto tranquilo – this is my favourite of the set Con vivacita Poetico Con una dolze lentezza
(2nd mvt) from ‘Le Tombeau de Couperin’ from ‘Le Tombeau de Couperin’
Wonderful, lyrical piece, much closer to Grieg’s “Notturno” in form and feeling than to Chopin’s or Field’s.
(D minor - Allegro) This is actually a two voice invention. Fast and delicate with lots of thirds and scale runs on the right hand, but no difficulty at all in the left hand. Difficult to play at full speed but easy if played slowly (and (A minor - Presto) – Electrical piece with ultra fast scale rushes. Looks easy on the page, but wait until you try to play it up to tempo (G minor – Allegro) In spite of the tempo indication this is a slow, lyrical sonata. Melancholic and intense. (G major – Presto) Fast and brilliant with a catchy, rhythmical theme on repeated notes. One of my favourites. (G major – Presto) Looking for fast (very fast) scale runs interspersed with a beautiful staccato melody? Look no further than this sparkling gigue.

Other Notes & Co Comments (E major – Presto) Virtuosistic sonata that is the sort of “expected” Scarlatti: guitar imitation, Spanish rhythms, fast scales in thirds, repeated notes and lots of ornaments. Great show off piece. If you want to develop a certain kind of technique, burn the Czerny and play this sonata instead. (A major - Allegro) – Virtuoso piece alternating relatively calm sections (F# minor – Allegro) – A not too fast, beautiful two voice invention that moves in a relentless way with one of the most beautiful motifs of all sonatas. Crossing hands. Broken chords figuration in both hands. (B minor – Allegro) This is my all time favourite Scarlatti sonata. A masterpiece. Surprisingly romantic, could very well have been composed by someone like Schubert. Very untypical Scarlatti. Achingly beautiful (G minor - Moderato) – A beautiful and complex fugue. (D minor – Ari a) a) Lyri ca cal s on onata much easi er er than i t sounds . Slow and melancholic. Although just one page long it requires some musical maturity to be truly effective. This is an ideal piece to open a recital, since it is slow and introspective it will calm you down. down. This is a real gem.

Excellent for waking up the audience! Figurations are shared equally by both hands. Excellent Czerny replacement and superior warm up piece. Equally A nice minuet only a page long (24 bars) – amongst the easiest of (G minor – Allegrissimo) Ferocious and virtuosistic sonata. (E major – Presto) This one of my favourite fast sonatas. As the Cheyene Indians found of saying “ it makes my heart soar like a hawk”. One of the most catchy motifs amongst all sonatas it makes one wish to dance and (D minor – Andante moderato) – Wonderful sonata, lyrical and devotional, uplifting and tranquil. Written (mostly) in 3-voice counterpoint. counterpoint. Another (A minor – Allegro) After a typical plaintive start in A minor, it suddenly displays a most romantic theme. Very unusual sonata. The main difficulty is to be found in the several bars where the hands cross. There are some (G major – Allegro) – Also known as Capriccio, this is celebratory, joyful and uplifting music that is much easier to play than it sounds. An all time favourite. Wide skips, echo effects, but fi ts the hand surprisingly well. (D minor – Allegro) – A determined and energetic gavotte, one of Scarlatti’s most played and well known pieces. (F# minor – Allegro) Toccatta like, this is a fast, dazzling sonata ideal for an encore. One of my favourites. (F minor) My favourite amongst the slow, lyrical sonatas, this is a hauntingly beautiful beautiful piece with a complex polyphonic texture – difficult to read but easy to play. Spend sometime analysing its structure before (Bb major - Allegro ) A two voice invention (with a third voice intruding on the last two bars of the first part), this is excellent for finger and hand (D minor – Moderato e cantabile – minuet) Painfully nostalgic and evocative lyrical sonata followed by a lively minuet. A masterpiece. (B minor - Andante ) Intensely lyrical work of great musical depth. Couterpoint in three and four parts. Said to be Horowitz favourite Scarlatti (D major – Allegro) Another “typical” Scarlatti sonata (similar to the overplayed K 380). Richly textured. It has everything in it: Horn calls, fast repeated notes, trills, suspensions, cross relations, parallel fifths, big (E minor – Alegrissimo) Wonderful study in rhythm with unexpected developments, suspensions and syncopations. (C minor - ) – A beautiful , tranquil and lyrical sonata that grows in emotional intensity as it develops. (A minor – Adagio) – Beautiful lyrical writing in three and four part couterpoint. Excellent as a study in voicing. Recital material for the (Bb major - Allegro) – A beautiful, lyrical sonata. Crossing hands.

Arpeggios Thirds
Other Notes & Co Comments (D major – Allegro) – Another sonata ideally suited to replace some of the common technical studies. Fast repeated notes, broken chords, arpeggios, leaps, crossing hands, scale runs. This unusual, percussive – watch out for the castanet sounds! sounds! - sonata has a very catchy, dancing (D minor – Allegro) A fast sonata full of nervous energy, this is the cross hand piece to end all cross hand pieces! Leaping bass figures, double (Eb major – Allegro) – Joyful and uplifting. (G major – Allegro) Tired of practising arpeggios? Try this sonata instead. A breezy arpeggio arpeggio study with very fast fast triplet semiquavers. semiquavers. Uplifting and extroverted. Go and jump on a lake, Hanon!. (G major – Vivo) – This non-stop sonata will not allow you to catch your breath! Great fun to play and an excellent virtuosistic piece to end a recital on a high note. If you are looking for a Czerny alternative alternative look no further: it is a study for the left hand plus repeated notes, broken thirds, sixths and (C major – Cantabile – ¾)A slow (well, sort of) A lyrical sonata with beautiful lush harmonies, haunting dissonances and arpeggios that are suddenly interrupted by a heart wrenching delicate melody based on (E major – Allegro) Dazzling finger work alternating with slow episodes in 4-voice counterpoint. Catchy and uplifiting. (D minor – Allegro) – A masterpiece. A fast toccata with lots of repeated notes over long stretches. Broken chords and skips. Vi rtuosic with dissonant guitar strumming in the left hand and lots of cross hands. (G major – Allegretto) – 3/8 – A nice little menuet full of humour and light. Although it sounds sounds dazzling and and virtuosic it is much easier than it sounds. sounds. Main difficulty are the fast alternating hands. (E minor – Lento) A beautiful lyrical and reflective sonata. (E major - Andante) After a slow, lyrical beginning all hell breaks loose, and a fast, dazzling sonata ensues with occasional returns to the sl ow (A minor – Allegro) – A vigorous impulsive sonata with most of the finger work on the right hand. The left hand (which demands a hand span covering at least an octave) plays sonorous chords and tone clusters – with up to ten notes! – imitating the strumming of a guitar. This Sonata was composed in 1752. Here Scarlatti succeeds in making conventional harmonies with slight changes sound quite extraordinary for the period. The Sonata has real Spanish character with vitality and bravura. (E flat major - Allegretto) – A beautiful, lyrical sonata not too slow. (B minor - Andante) – Sonata in a lyric, c antabile style, moderately flowing. Expansive, sonorous qualities. (E minor – Allegro) – A masterpiece. Dramatic and powerful, this 2 voice invention (with a third voice intruding on 4 bars near the start of the second part) is still effective at a slower tempo. One of my favourites. K201 is also excellent to replace technical exercises dealing with arpeggions and thirds (E minor – 3/8) – Beautiful sonata with most of the figurations on one hand at a time. An insistent and catchy motif keeps bringing the sonata together. Unusual syncopations. syncopations. Requires a sizeable hand span and (A major – Andante e cantabile) – Lyrical sonata, with a hauntingly beautiful melody and compelling harmonic progressions. Tranquil and (A major – Allegro) Uplifiting sonata, not too fast. (D minor - Andante ) – Another of my favourites amongst the lyrical sonatas. A slow, full-of-longing melody increases gradually in intensity up to an unusual harmonic climax. Great to play and to listen to. (E major – Andante) – Sudden shifts of key abound in this sonata. (F minor - Allegro ) An excellent “dance” piece full of Spanish rhythms. (C# minor – Allegro) – Beautiful lyrical sonata (slightly reminiscent of K 69) with a weaving three voice counterpoint. Enharmonic modulations and (G major – Andante) – A two and three voice invention. Lyrical and tranquil. Slightly reminiscent of K 208.

Other Notes & Co Comments (F# major – Andante) An unusual key that suggests that Scarlatti was familiar with equal temperament tuning. A lyrical and calm sonata. (Amajor - Allegro ) A delicate, joyful sonata with a Mozartian flavour. (A major – Allegro) – Dazzling and fast, this “baroque prelude” style sonata has most of its impressive finger work in the right hand. Excellent for finger control and co-ordination, it is actually much easier than it (G minor – Presto a fugato) Wonderful sonata with scales (some chromatic) alternating hands over the whole extent of the keyboard.

A most beautiful melody (F minor - ) Another sonata full of brilliance, with fast scales and compelling harmonic progressions. (E minor – Andante) One of my favourites slow sonatas.

This is joyful music that makes you want to skip and jump and dance! dance! This is the kind of music that makes you you smile for hours hours after listening to it. This cures depression, serious! Great for your trills and (C major – Allegro) One of my favourites, this is a brilliant and dazzling sonata with plenty of repeated notes. It is said to represent children (G minor – Andante) Another beautiful lyrical sonata, deeply reflective and tranquil, and not at all melancholic. Rich textures and highly musical. Very good as a study in long phrases. Sudden dramatic silences. (G major – Prestissimo) Wonderfully exhilarating sonata, both to play and to listen to. The tempo direction (“as fast as possible”) gives you an idea of what to expect. A really electric and uplifting work requiring pianism of the utmost degree. Has a recurring motif that is incredibly joyful and catchy. My favourite fast sonata. sonata. (But only if you play it at top speed. It is (A major - Allegro) – Lyrical and gently lilting sonata.

(G major – Andante spirituoso) After a calm opening and nice little folk-like tune this sonata goes onto a breathless sequence of scurrying scales and broken chords over the entire length of the keyboard on both hands. (C major – Allegro) A beautiful sonata full of guitar sounds and Spanish nostalgia. A fast introduction is followed by a most evocative second part. (F minor – Andante moderato) - A masterpiece. Beautiful, slow lyrical sonata. As it is often the case with the lyrical sonatas, this one elicits tranquillity and peacefulness rather than melancholy and grief. Excellent for developing rhythm awareness awareness of triplets versus quavers. It also has 3 (G major – Allegretto) – Starts with determined, percussive chords, which are followed by a fast figuration of great delicacy equally shared between the hands. Good Czerny replacement and warm up. Fast and dazzling this (D major – Andante cantabile) – Beautiful lyrical sonata (and one of the longest). Uses the whole keyboard.

Urgent and dramatic it will still be effective at a slower tempo. Technical problems problems are minimal. (C major – Pastorale: Moderato – Molto allegro – Presto) One of the few sonatas written in different movements (tempos). Shepherd pipes and bagpipes drones are imitated. The final movement (presto) is exhilarating and virtuosic. This Pastorale was composed in 1756 during Scarlatti's late period. It recalls the piping of the shepherds who came down into Rome from the surrounding hills at Christmas time. They begin in a moderate (D minor – Prestissimo – 2/2) Another fast and furious sonata that can easily replace any technical study.

Other Notes & Co Comments Allegro non troppo - If no. 5 was Czerny for the right hand, this is for the left hand. The right hand crosses over frequently. Not as dissonant as the others. Fast LH figurations (not dissimilar to Czerny) in a “moto perpetuo” Arguably the best of the set, very lugubrious, making full use of the piano’s orchestral sounds. Actually I read somewhere that Stokowski made an orchestral version of this prelude (I haven’t heard it though). A very nice waltz, with the typical waltz accompaniment first on the right hand, then on the left. Very jolly. Another humorous piece, march-like, with lots of “wrong-note” writing. A lyrical slow piece. Another lyrical piece vaguely reminiscent of Mendelssohn’s Venetian Boat Nice end piece, gavotte style, quite funny.
If you like Scarlatti you will like Soler. A disciple of Scarlatti, Soler composed 300 sonatas similar in style. If you are after virtuoso, complex music, look no further. Romantic and impressionistic at the same time. three very difficult tone tone poems. If you are after virtuoso, complex music, look no further. Romantic and impressionistic at the same time. Some highly lyric, some dramatic. dramatic. Not all pieces are for beginners. The easier are no. 1 “Morning prayer” a four voice chorale, no.7 “The sick doll” which is very easy, but the melody is on the s econd beat of the bar, so it requires attention to voicing, no. 8 “The doll’s burial” very sl ow and heavy; no. 21 “Daydream”, very good to learn how to do offbeat chord accompaniment and no. 24 “In Church”, From 'Album for the Young' From 'Album for the Young' From 'Album for the Young'
