Old Dances and Melodies for Piano, Vol. 3

Old Dances and Melodies for Piano, Vol. 3

Old Dances and Melodies, Volume 3, edited by Jan Hoffman and Adam Rieger, contains a selection of works by early masters intended for piano study. The pieces are grouped according to the composers’ national traditions – France, Italy and Germany – allowing students to recognize distinctive stylistic characteristics of different musical traditions.

This arrangement does not allow the pieces to be presented in a strictly progressive order of difficulty. The teacher should therefore decide on the appropriate sequence for studying the works according to the student's level and individual abilities.
