Easy Pieces for Piano that Sound Complex. Sheet Music for Rusty Pianists

Professional educator, music blogger, and author of the educational site «What to Play?» Maria Sharova teaches piano in France, works extensively with adult amateurs, and shares music that helps her motivate students, along with interesting notes and funny cases from her practice. More and more music enthusiasts are returning to playing the piano after years of break, while some are just starting to play. And what if your profession is not creative at all? What can adult amateur players expect during a lesson with a teacher? How to avoid mistakes when practicing alone? What to play to sound impressive yet accessible? On electronic keyboards or right on the piano? The answers are in this collection, where alongside the works of outstanding composers, engaging stories from the everyday life of a music teacher are provided. You will peek behind the scenes of piano lessons for adults and will want to play the piano yourself – for some it will be a return, for others, it will be for the first time. This collection is also intended for teachers, parents looking for beautiful accessible classical repertoire for competitions or concerts, and for home music-making.

The simplest pieces assume mastery of the instrument starting from the second year of lessons; each comes with an analysis of the main technical difficulties. The final piece – a transcription for piano of F. Mendelssohn's romance – is published for the first time.
