When you're starting to learn piano, thinking about playing the music of the "great composers" can be quite daunting!

This collection offers beginner-level pianists an accessible approach to Franz Peter Schubert's works. The arrangements focus on his melodies and style, presenting manageable excerpts in simplified keys and with suggested fingerings.

Franz Peter Schubert was one of the leading composers of the late Classical and early Romantic eras. This collection includes a wide variety of the Austrian composer's most beloved pieces in simplified forms, making them perfect for beginners: Sonata No. 1; Moment Musical Op.94 (D.780) No.3 in F Minor; Piano sonata D.840 "Reliquie"; and more. MP3 files are included for each piece to help in practicing. Each selection features a brief Introduction that provides historical context and, in some cases, suggestions for performance. Music available as downloadable MP3s via a link or QR code at the beginning of the book.
