The Perfect Music Series for Piano Students and for Those Returning to the Piano. Each volume in the “At the Piano” series includes original pieces by one composer. The works are arranged in progressive order of difficulty and complement one another conceptually. Each piece ranges from one to eight pages. All volumes contain fingering and practical tips on technique and interpretation. The “At the Piano” series is an ideal introduction to the world of classical piano music and is particularly suitable for piano students and for all those who are returning to the piano after a long break. The series is edited by Sylvia Hewig-Tröscher, a piano professor at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Munich. She has decades of experience teaching young people and adults, gives concerts and masterclasses around the world, and is a much sought-after educator. At the piano with Mendelssohn – everyone naturally thinks first of his wonderful Songs without Words, from which we have chosen a varied selection here. But there are other pieces in this volume that are no less fascinating, such as several of his enchanting children's pieces, which belong alongside Robert Schumann's Kinderszenen. In compositions such as the Prelude in f minor, we can also discern the love that Mendelssohn the German Romantic bore for the polyphony of J. S. Bach.
