Leichte Klavierstücke: Bach

The four composer-sons of Johann Sebastian Bach were figures of decisive importance in the transitional period between the Baroque and Viennese classicism. Around the middle of the 18th century they were influential not only as composers but also as virtuoso players of keyboard instruments in promoting the enormous change in style that took place during those decades. This volume offers a selection of the genres typical of the keyboard works by Bach's sons, thereby also giving students an excellent introduction to Viennese classicism and to the works of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. Contains ABRSM Piano Syllabus pieces, Grades 3-6.
