The “classical era” runs roughly from the 1770s into the early decades of the 1800s. This collection features both pieces originally written for piano, as well as transcriptions for piano. Piano pieces included are by Bach, Beethoven, Cimarosa, Clementi, Diabelli, Haydn, Mozart and Turk. Transcriptions for piano include movements from Beethoven, Mozart and Haydn symphonies, among other music. The volume includes a short biography of each composer. As with the entire series, the book is on high-quality, glare-free paper, with long-lasting sewn binding.
