Piano Repertoire
A series of repertoire books containing keyboard music from the 17th to the early 20th century edited and annotated by Esther Cohen.
Main features:
- suitable for all who are learning to play the piano – children, teenagers and adults
- pieces selected by piano teachers for their musical and pianistic merits – and because they are popular with pupils
- new editions with clear and spacious presentation
- Introductory Level through to Level 7 (approximately similar to the grades of the main music exam boards)
- meticulous and systematic fingering
- Introductory level and Level 1 compatible with the later stages of Esther Cohen’s Piano Course.
Every book is accompanied by an audio CD recording of the entire book as an aid to effective and rewarding practice. All early and middle grade pieces are performed on two tracks; the first is at a performance tempo, and the second is significantly slower.
