Already great, but still simple literature
A new series of the Wiener Urtext Edition closes the gap between working through a piano school and further literature.
Starting from a playing level that is comparable to pieces such as Bach's Minuet in G (BWV Anh. 116), Mozart's Minuet in F (KV 5) or Schumann's Wild rider (op. 68/8) is outlined for each volume of the Urtext Primo series Works by three different composers have been selected with the aim of offering piano students (or even adult returners) a range of repertoire pieces with which they can develop their technical and musical skills.
The range of difficulty of the pieces is relatively narrow so that the volume can be used continuously over a period of around two years. The repertoire selection includes pieces from the classical teaching canon as well as lesser-known works whose relevance for piano lessons is by no means diminished.
The Urtext Primo volumes are published in the internationally recognized standard of the Wiener Urtext editions. The explanatory notes included with each booklet are intended to help deepen your knowledge of musical style, music history and piano playing. A repertoire table at the end of each volume gives a rough overview of the difficulty of the pieces.
