Emma Altberg: Musical Readings for Piano, Vol. 1

Emma Altberg: Musical Readings for Piano, Vol. 1

“Musical Readings” is intended as a collection of musical excerpts for students at first-level music schools. The volume provides valuable repertoire from different periods and by numerous composers, making it easier for teachers to select suitable pieces without having to consult many separate and sometimes difficult-to-find collections. The pieces can also be used to develop sight-reading skills.

The entire collection was checked against source editions or the most recent critical editions available. To improve clarity, editorial markings have been distinguished from the composers’ original indications. Editorial suggestions concerning tempo, dynamics and articulation are placed in parentheses, while added slurs are marked with broken lines.
