Classical Piano Masterpieces. Piano Sheet Music Book with 65 Pieces of Classical Music for Intermediate Players (+Free Audio) (#1 in Series) Paperback – March 16, 2023

Lots of great classical tunes. Easy to play!

I love this book - it’s just what I was looking for as my students approach spring recital. I’m a piano teacher and what I appreciate this book is the clear, easy to read formatting of the songs - it takes classics and makes them more accessible with clean fonts. It also has some easier versions of classics that allows intermediate players to build repertoire and feel good about their learning while gaining skills necessary for the full pieces. The book is nice and sturdy, although you may need a binder clip to keep it open, or to spend some time creasing the pages. It’s a great mix of composers, and doesn’t overlap much with any of my other books. I find most intermediate books to contain mostly the same pieces so this was a nice change of pace. The one criticism I would have is that it’s lacking dynamic markings, which are especially helpful to those learning. For more advanced players it’s a nice way to quickly add some sight reading into your routine. Very happy to have this!

I like this book a lot in terms of the number of familiar classical melodies/themes it includes. Most of the pieces are excerpted from other pieces and simplified from the original sources. It is a good book, in that it lets players hear familiar music (e.g., the 18th variation from Rhapsody on Theme by Paganini) in form an early intermediate player can play with some practice or a more advanced player can play without too much difficulty to hear melodies under their fingers. The fingering is good for the 15-20 pieces I've played.Recommended as a good add-on for someone who wants a selection of classical pieces - Could be a good bridge to more advanced/original settings of the pieces.

This is a wonderful resource for intermediate piano players. I took piano lessons for a year as a child, but decided not to continue at that time. Last year I was fortunate to find a good piano teacher for older adults. I have been taking lessons for slightly over a year and decided to try my hand at classical music. This was the perfect book for me. The music is not too difficult, but it does challenge me enough to help me become a better piano player. It is very satisfying when I learn a piece. The variety of songs is wonderful. I think the best part is the free audio, which is easy to use and very helpful when learning a new song.

I like the variety of the pieces in this book and the fact they are suitable for an intermediate level student.

It's very strange that there are no dynamics in the whole book. There are also no instructions about what tempo to play the pieces, and no pedal markings.

This us a great book for any pianist.

Nothing was wrong, it was harder for me to play.
