Product description
The series is meant to provide the youth learning the piano and amateur pianists with performance material. Apart from popular pieces for piano the selection also includes special works and curios. Its scope covers the music literature of almost 300 years starting from the 1600s up to the end of the 19th century. Each of the various volumes represents a characteristic era, period and school.
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He is considered one of the greatest musical geniuses of all time. He was a master of polyphony and brought to perfection the musical form of the fugue. He composed 1126 musical compositions of various forms (they are referred to by the abbreviation BWV and serial number). In his time, Bach became famous mainly as a keyboard player, but as a composer he was less known. His music was perceived as conservative, and after his death it fell into oblivion for almost fifty years.
Georg Friedrich Händel (1685 - 1759) was a German organist, harpsichordist, teacher and composer of the Baroque period, who left humanity a unique artistic heritage. We know more than 600 compositions from him, and many of his operas and oratorios are among the most valuable in European music. His music is generally characterized as festive, royal and attractive.
