Suitable for intermediate to advanced pianists, these carefully chosen pieces provide a splendid variety of music from the period.
Selections include several pieces by Joseph Haydn, including the Sonata no. 1 in C Major, Sonata no. 2 in B-flat Major, and Sonata no. 3 in C Major; Mozart's Sonata no. 1 in C Major, K279; Sonata no. 2 in F Major, K280; and other pieces; Tchaikovsky's Romance, Op. 5
and Nocturne, Op. 10, No. 1; and a generous assortment of works by Ludwig van Beethoven, including Sonata no. 8 in C Minor, Op. 13 ("Pathetique") and Rondo a Capriccio, Op. 129 ("Rage over a Lost Penny")
