Gurlitt's collection of accessible, charming works for the intermediate pianist provides an excellent introduction to Romantic repertoire of the mid-19th century, and highlights that period's signature solo piano form, the character piece. Gurlitt's miniatures show the influence of Robert Schumann, yet these solos nonetheless display an individuality and freshness all their own. Editor & recording artist: Margaret Otwell

This book, combined with "Reading and writing" presents a balanced musical diet for the young piano beginner. From the outset, the student learns to transfer his newly acquired knowledge to many slighty different but related situations. Sequential organization of materials enables the student to understand what he is learning and to communicate this to his peers in good group instruction. As each new concept or idea is explored, the student can actually teach it to himself and his partners in the group interaction. Individuality and creative expression are crucial components of this learning experience.
