Das kleine Spielbuch ist vor allem ein Melodiebuch fur den Anfang. Es wird nicht vom Notenbild ausgegangen, sondern von der Spielhand und der musikalischen Vorstellung. Die dem Volks- und Tanzlied nahe stehenden Melodien werden erst einstimmig, mit beiden Handen abwechselnd oder gleichzeitig gespielt. Die Ubertragung in verschiedene Tonarten ubt die musikalische Vorstellungskraft. Die einfachen Begleitstimmen (Bordun- oder Stutzbasse) konnen bei fortgeschrittener Spielfertigkeit erweitert und ausgebaut werden.
