Why does the Early Intermediate Piano Pieces matter?

As pianists progress, they often encounter a pivotal yet challenging transitional phase. This book curates a selection of meticulously chosen pieces, strategically crafted to practice skills necessary for overcoming obstacles commonly faced on the path toward higher-level piano playing and prevent the problems caused by prematurely transitioning to what is often mistakenly known as the ‘intermediate’ level.

The intermediate stage is where challenges emerge, and pianists can feel stuck. It represents a crucial juncture in the pianist’s evolution, demanding careful guidance and a well-crafted repertoire.

A holistic approach toward learning is crucial; therefore, selecting the right pieces plays a significant role. However, finding suitable transitional repertoire can be challenging due to under-listing or misclassification in educational materials.

This curation allows players or their teachers to address challenges head-on and offers a seamless roadmap for progress. Concise yet informative annotations accompany every piece, guiding practice and unlocking its educational value.

Each composition has been rewritten and edited with a keen eye on enhancing visual clarity, maintaining adherence to music notation standards while integrating modernity.

For both piano teachers and students, this book aims to provide assistance, facilitating a smooth transition from beginner to intermediate classical piano playing.
