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.
The pieces in this album have been selected from several collections of easier piano pieces by nineteenth-century German composer, Heinrich Karl Johann Hofmann. Highly romantic and colourful, they are enjoyable to play and provide useful instructional material.
