Piano Mix Book 1

Piano Mix is packed full of brilliant music that has been specially arranged for easy piano. It''s a whirlwind of styles and genres from centuries gone by through to the present day. The repertoire reflects the type of music found in our Piano syllabuses. In Piano Mix 1 the pieces are mostly at Grade 1 standard, helping pianists progress to Grade 2 towards the end of the book. The series has been compiled and edited by David Blackwell with arrangements by Alan Bullard, Nikki Iles, Christopher Norton and Tim Richards to name a few. Every arrangement is enjoyable to play because it fits well under the pianist''s hands while remaining faithful to the original work. Well-known music includes Handel''s ''Fireworks Minuet'' and opera classics from Bizet and Verdi. There are also lots of unsung melodies to be discovered, like Harry J. Lincoln''s ''Bees-Wax Rag'' and a traditional Swiss piece called ''In the Alps''. From the orchestra to the opera and from folk to jazz, there''s a world of music at your fingertips! Perfect for learners exploring repertoire for the own-choice piece in ABRSM''s Performance Grade exams
