The John Brimhall Great Music Made Easy series for Piano Duet is a unique combination of simplified piano arrangements of music by some of history's greatest composers. These skillfully done arrangements for one piano, four hands capture the essence of the original composition in easier to play versions that stay true to the original musical intent. The larger engraving and meticulous fingering make this a valuable tool for the study of the masters of great music literature.
These duet arrangements offer late elementary to early intermediate pianists the opportunity to play the classics at a much earlier level than if they were to wait to play the original version. By dividing the pieces between two performers, the individual parts are simpler, but the fullness and integrity of the originals remain. Contains: Sonatina in C Major; Bagatelle; German Dance; Menuet in G Major; Melody in F; Ecossaise and Maple Leaf Rag. Highlights from Book 2 are: Beethoven's Fur Elise; Satie's 1st Gymnopedie and Sousa's Stars and Stripes Forever.
