Essential repertoire for piano
ABRSM
Editor: Jones, Richard
Core Classics is a collection of seven books of music from the piano canon, selected and graded by leading educationalists. Each volume contains a rich selection of engaging pieces to form the backbone of any pianist’s repertoire. With pieces from Chaminade, Diabelli, Scarlatti, and many more, this book includes an abundance of much-loved music.
Each book is authoritatively graded, with pieces gradually increasing in difficulty throughout. The books are equally valuable for learners working towards a grade exam, between grades, or playing for leisure, building technical skills and confidence.
