Neil A. Kjos Piano Library - Piano Repertoire: Baroque & Classical - Level 1

Students are carefully introduced to a full spectrum of representative musical forms including fantasias, fugues, theme and variations, preludes, toccatas, dance suites, and sonatas. Editor Keith Snell selects works that not only motivate students but also highlight the characteristics of each period. Students study how lengthy melodic lines favored by Baroque composers were replaced by concise, expressive themes and how the ideas of thematic contrast emerged. This series provides a comprehensive and insightful overview of the Baroque & Classical period.
