Even a new beginner pianist can appreciate the beautiful complexity of Rachmaninoff’s music. This duet is a medley of two of Rachmaninoff’s most popular Preludes (C# minor and G minor) and is written for an early beginner (Primo) and teacher or intermediate level pianist (Secondo). Strategically transposed to A minor for ease in learning, the Secondo pianist plays the deep accompaniment tones while the Primo pianist plays the main melody for a balanced taste of the original full, resonant pieces. Perfect for a new pianist’s recital performance.

Most new pianists want to play this Beethoven piece but aren’t prepared for the difficulty of the original composition. This early intermediate level arrangement is of the entire piece – not just the main theme! – which makes it an excellent choice for a recital performance. Carefully written to match the integrity of Beethoven’s work, this arrangement allows pianists to perform Beethoven now while developing essential skills for the future mastery of Beethoven’s masterpieces.
BONUS: Because the largest harmonic interval is a Major 6th, pianists with small hands can easily play this without sacrificing musicality or altering chords.

French for “moonlight”, Clair de Lune is an example of true musical beauty. Unlike many other simplified arrangements, this version is intentionally written in the original key of D-flat Major to keep its beautiful shimmering color. It includes the initial well-known main theme (in its simple beauty, with minimal changes) as well as part of the secondary moving theme, making it an excellent choice for a recital performance piece for the early intermediate level pianist.

Worried that others wouldn’t take him seriously, Saint-Saëns requested this entire humorous suite be published only after his death. This arrangement of the suite’s finale gives early beginner pianists a taste of how dramatic, crazy, and fun classical music really can be.

There’s no good morning greeting quite like “Morning Mood” from Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite I. This arrangement includes an uncluttered melody with soft thirds and chords in the accompaniment to ease listeners into wakefulness, just like the morning rays.

Very few people haven’t heard this classical Beethoven theme (incredibly, composed after he had lost his hearing). This arrangement combines the marvelously simple stepwise melody with dynamics, a black key crossover, and triumphant harmonic thirds to allow beginner pianists to experience the grandeur of this masterful composer’s music.

This early level baroque piece is filled with stately call-and-response and lends itself well to interpretation with phrasing, dynamics, and articulations. I have included these interpretations in this edition and frequently use this piece to teach students how to transpose using various pentascales.

The march-like melody reigns supreme in this beginner arrangement that’s great for a first recital. Even young beginners who can just barely reach an F Major chord triad can perform this rendition of Beethoven’s bombastic Turkish March.
