Description
The Piano Mix 1 collection features pieces mostly at Grade 1 level, helping pianists progress towards Grade 2 by the end of the book. Compiled and edited by David Blackwell, the series includes arrangements by renowned composers such as Alan Bullard, Nikki Iles, Christopher Norton, and Tim Richards. Each arrangement is enjoyable to play, as it suits the pianist's hands while remaining faithful to the original work.
The repertoire includes well-known classics like Handel's 'Fireworks Minuet', Saint-Saëns' 'Lion' from The Carnival of the Animals, and opera pieces by Bizet and Verdi. Additionally, the collection introduces lesser-known gems, such as Dowland's 'Lute Song', Harry J. Lincoln's 'Bees-Wax Rag', and a traditional Swiss piece called 'In the Alps'.
