All are well arranged and edited, and the piano accompaniments are simple but musically satisfying.

Klappentext

Well-crafted arrangements of music from the 13th century to the present day presented in chronological order. Pieces show the year in which they were written to give a sense of the different styles of music through time. Each piece has been carefully arranged by Philip Bass and Paul Harris to practise the note ranges and keys of the early grades. These volumes also provide an invaluable source of further study and recital repertoire.
