Description

Noted for his technical finesse and his fondness for experimentation, Franz Schubert was one of the leading composers of the late Classical and early Romantic eras. This collection includes a wide variety of his most beloved pieces in simplified arrangements, making them a satisfying and accessible introduction to the Austrian composer's work for beginners. Presented in gradually increasing order of difficulty, the pieces feature simplified keys and suggested fingerings. Selections include highlights from Schubert's symphonies; "Ave Maria," the composer's most famous work; three of the charming Noble Waltzes; and excerpts from the "Trout" quintet and the string quartet "Death and the Maiden." Several poems set to music include Goethe's "The Erl King," "Gretchen at the Spinning Wheel," and "The Shepherd's Plaint." All 35 selections are available as downloadable MP3s. Read more

  • Just what our studio has been looking for!
These books are exactly what we have been looking for. Our studio, Fox Music Instruction (find us on Facebook), has a focus on inspiring our students to explore the depth of expression found in classical music. Because of this, we have found it somewhat difficult to source arrangements of classical masterpieces that are appropriate for the level of our students. These books address that need wonderfully. There are around a dozen "First books" focusing on a single composer's works and two other books that are more general and help students explore many different composers' works in the same book. The only downside to the series is that there are no offerings specifically suited to primer or early level 1 students. These books are more levels 2-4 approximately. However, that does not detract from the value of what is offered in my view. We have decided to implement these books as a regular part of the repertoire curriculum for our students (who are of the right level) henceforth. In summation, while these books may not suit the needs of every student or studio, they do a wonderful job suiting the vision of our studio and the needs of many of our students! ... show more

  • Perfect for Young Child
My little grandson loves classical music, so I've purchased a number of these Beginning Pianist books for him. They offer a little information about the composer and about each piece of music, along with the first page or two of sheet music for each piece. The sheet music is very simplified, so it's not overwhelming for a child. Highly recommend. ... show more

  • Schubert for the Beginning Pianist
"A First Book of Schubert" by David Dutkanicz is for the beginner pianist including sheet music from some of Franz Schubert most beloved compositions including "Ave Maria," three of the Noble Waltzes. exercpts from the "Trout" quintet, and many others. A special extra included in the book is a link to download mp3s of all 35 music selections included in the book. This is a great introduction to the famous composer for children and adults learning piano for the first time. The selections get harder and harder as you go along helping the aspiring pianist to learn new music with the added challenge as their skills progress. This was a great collection that my oldest and I dug into together. I received this as an eBook from Dover Publications via NetGalley in exchange for an honest and unbiased review of the title. I did not receive any compensation from either company. The opinions expressed herein are completely my own. ... show more
