Beginning pianists of all ages will cherish this excellent compilation of classics. Each piece was carefully selected and simplified to help students develop their skills. Many of the greatest composers---J. S. Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Rimsky-Korsakov, Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, and others---are represented by several pieces each, some newly adapted for the piano. Composers and works not usually featured in beginner's books include pieces by Borodin, Gluck, Rameau, and Tallis. Well-known classics include Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, Debussy's Claire de Lune, Moussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, Satie's Gymnopedie No. 1, Schumann's Child Falling Asleep, and Spring from Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Several orchestral pieces have been newly adapted for the piano, including Dance of the Swan from Swan Lake, Elephant from Carnival of the Animals, Largo from Xerxes, and Waltz of the Flowers from The Nutcracker.

I have not played through the music yet (which hopefully might redeem it) but the presentation is not great. It appears as though someone on a home computer created the arrangements in a giant font then bound the pages together - so a song that should be a page is on five or six pages. That creates an accessibility problem for beginning students because the song length seems overwhelming. The paper appears to be slightly thicker newsprint and it is just plain weird. Not a fan.

This collection is like a series of classical Cliff's Notes. Most pieces are only one page long, 10-18 measures long. There's barely a single exposition of the theme. I doubt this would be a satisfying experience of the classics for any of my beginner students.
