Pat Goddard was left to ponder what the great composers were doing in their early years. Following meticulous research, the result was a new series for piano: Great Little Composers.

The examples of Beethovenâ??s early piano works included in this album were written when Beethoven was between the ages of 11 and 27 â?? he did not have such an early start as Mozart! All but one have been relegated to the end of the catalogue of his works under the heading â??Werke ohne Opuszahlâ? (works without an Opus number WoO). However, they are varied and interesting and although showing strong traits of Haydn and Mozart, the germ of Beethovenâ??s future strikingly individual expressive language is clear.

Our purpose in compiling this volume was to gather attractive pieces that are neither too long nor too technically difficult so that the collection would be as varied as possible and show many different 'faces' of Beethoven. In the selection process the most important consideration was the musical aspect, thus the works are arranged not in order of difficulty, but more or less by composition date. The earliest are not the easiest, and those that are playable even after just two years of piano study can be found in the middle of the collection.

Unser Ziel bei der Zusammenstellung dieses Bandes bestand darin, nicht allzu lange und technisch schwierige Stücke zu einem Bund zu knüpfen, die Sammlung so abwechslungsreich wie möglich zu gestalten und zugleich viele verschiedene ‚Gesichter' Beethovens zu zeigen. Bei der Auswahl der Stücke spielte also der musikalische Aspekt die wichtigste Rolle. So sind die Werke auch nicht nach dem Schwierigkeitsgrad, sondern ungefähr nach der Entstehungszeit geordnet. Nicht die am frühesten Entstandenen sind die Einfachsten. Die Stücke, die man bereits nach zwei bis drei Jahren Klavierunterricht spielen kann, befinden sich etwa in der Mitte des Bandes.
