The ABRSM 'Easier Piano Pieces' series features pieces chosen for their comparative lack of technical difficulty, therefore providing an excellent introduction to the music of great composers throughout history.
This album combines two sets of pieces for beginners at the piano by Sir George Dyson and Sir Charles Villiers Stanford, both notable teachers. These tuneful pieces are particularly well written for young players and will help develop and extend the pianist’s technique.
