With its eight books of graded piano solos, the Great Literature for the Piano series celebrates the treasures of the piano repertoire by bringing together beautiful works by many of the outstanding composers for the instrument. The first book in the series, designed for late primary and early elementary-level students, encompasses the most easily mastered compositions from the composers of the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods. Biographical sketches of each composer help make the selections more meaningful to the student.
