Attwood: Easy Progressive Lessons

Description

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.

One-time student of Mozart, Thomas Attwood published these four sonatinas as lessons for ‘Young Beginners on the PianoForte or Harpsichord’ in 1795. Short, tuneful and easy, this is an excellent introduction to the classical sonatina form.
