Classical Piano Masterpieces. Piano Sheet Music Book with 65 Pieces of Classical Music for Intermediate Players (+Free Audio) (#1 in Series)

The book has 65 songs that are intermediate level. I bought it for my son who is beginner and struggling to play most songs. The audio files are really helpful to listen to the songs and practice.

This collection of classical piano sheet music is aimed at early intermediate level and has a nice variety of composers and pieces. As expected, some of the music is simplified and/or abridged arrangements of popular classical pieces. Quite a few seem to be suitable for advanced beginner level as well. Compared to a similar classical piano book I already own, the print in this book is much larger and easier to read. Finger numbers are included as well. I really like that the book comes with free audio downloads for all the arrangements, although you will need to provide an email address to access them. One minor issue is that tempo and dynamics are not marked. One would need to rely on the audio recordings or another resource, such as a piano teacher for guidance on how to perform each piece. Full disclosure: I received a free copy of this book for evaluation.

Perfect for intermediate or above.

As a 'late beginner' self-taught piano player it can be hard to find pieces that are interesting, authentic sounding, but not overwhelming in difficulty. This collection really nails the difficulty level well. The accompanying audio is good for learning how to play the pieces.

I love this book - it’s just what I was looking for as my students approach spring recital. I’m a piano teacher and what I appreciate this book is the clear, easy to read formatting of the songs - it takes classics and makes them more accessible with clean fonts. It also has some easier versions of classics that allows intermediate players to build repertoire and feel good about their learning while gaining skills necessary for the full pieces. The book is nice and sturdy, although you may need a binder clip to keep it open, or to spend some time creasing the pages. It’s a great mix of composers, and doesn’t overlap much with any of my other books. I find most intermediate books to contain mostly the same pieces so this was a nice change of pace. The one criticism I would have is that it’s lacking dynamic markings, which are especially helpful to those learning. For more advanced players it’s a nice way to quickly add some sight reading into your routine. Very happy to have this!

Pieces are delightful and all have been leveled not rewritten to meet intermediate needs.

Nice selection of music, I love being able to hear what the song is "supposed" to sound like!

I truly enjoyed this book, as a pianist and someone that loves classical music this was very enjoyable! An intermediate pianist will find works that are easy to play, as well as some that will challenge. This is a great book for pianist that are above basic level pieces, and would like to try their hand at something more challenging without being too complex. Such a great variety and I look forward to continue playing the pieces in this book! Highly recommend!

It has all of my favourites; the classics you'll recognize!

pour une personne intermédiaire etudes

Absolutely love this collection of classical music for the intermediate piano learner. Finger placements have been included, which helps with learning how to play it. You can download the music so you can hear it first before attempting to play.It is the perfect book for progression if you have already finished learning Primo Piano from the same publisher, as there are 9 songs that are a little more advanced/longer in this book (ie Adagio Cantabile, The Entertainer, Sleeping Beauty Waltz, etc).

On the whole, the music is very appropriate to my level (intermediate) and many of these pieces are well known and popular yet simplified for the not too accomplished player. I find it disappointing that there are no indicators as to when one plays loudly, softly, crescendos etc. The fingering guides are sparse and there are no pedal markings. I am very appreciative of the music files so that I can hear how this music should be played, but the recordings are not of a great quality with the sound quite muffled.
