Since most of Lisztâ??s vast output of piano music both original and arranged was obviously intended for the virtuoso it's easy to forget that he also wrote short and beautiful pieces which are technically undemanding. Moreover many of these are far more interesting musically than the typically brilliant works. By way of introducing this less familiar side of a great keyboard composer this edition offers twenty-one non-virtuoso pieces that he wrote between the ages of 38 and 74. They are arranged roughly in chronological order and prepared from original sources by leading scholars including informative introductions and performance notes. This book comprisescollections of pieces which include: Consolations Six Pieces S.172; Vier Kleine Klavierstucke (Four Short Piano Pieces) S.192; and Funf Ungarische Volkslieder (Five Hungarian Folksongs) S.245.

Each book contains 12 groups of six 'Short Shorts'. Each group is designed to be played once each day for a week to help the student to understand and use the goals of sightreading.

Besides being an influential and prolific composer Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) was one of the great teachers of his day. He was a dedicated master of the keyboard always exploring and expanding his knowledge of the instrument. Technique was of paramount significance to Bach and he was always developing exercises to improve his students??? playing. Bach developed those exercises into the pieces presented in 18 Short Preludes. However these compositions are more than keyboard exercises. They are light airy fun works that reflect Bach???s love of the short simple prelude form. They provide the beginning student with an excellent introduction to the genius ofJ.S. Bach.This edition was carefully and methodically prepared by Willard A. Palmer. An introductory section offers a thorough explanation of trills mordents appoggiaturas and other proper ornamentation applicable to these preludes. This feature helps make this edition of Bach???s 18 Short Preludes the most practical and attractive one available.
