Book of Keys

Description

48 Original Piano Pieces – Easy to Intermediate

This collection aims to give somewhat advanced pianists the opportunity to become familiar with the beauty and richness of the 24 keys through a stylistically diverse and motivating selection of literature. It contains 48 pieces of easy to moderate difficulty, two for each key, and is suitable for both teaching and self-study. The selection includes works by a total of 41 composers spanning five centuries of music history.

A detailed appendix introduces the keyboard landscapes of the keys and explains the logic of the circle of fifths in an understandable way. Explanations and practical exercises complement each other in such a way that the connection between grasping and understanding becomes tangible.

A collection that opens up space for musical experience and contributes to a lasting enjoyment of playing the piano!
