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.
Terry Greaves takes a good-humoured look at ten nursery tunes and reclothes them in a variety of popular styles. Swing, Rock and Latin beats propel these pieces forwards to provide some excellent light-hearted or encore fare. A second collection is also published under More Swinging Rhymes.
