DESCRIPTION:
Hard to find It's hard to find piano scores of Christmas music that are at all intricate. Most people want to be able to play their familiar music at the Christmas season without devoting months of practice. So, simple, streamlined scores are the rule. That probably has to be true because that's what most people want. These scores use familiar classical themes as carriers of the melodies for Christmas music. I love this book! wadejen I was a piano teacher for over 15 years and this collection is one of my favorites for my advanced students as well as myself. The Mozart arrangement in particular is just beautiful. I lost this book years ago so I'm looking forward to playing these carols again! This book is relatively easier to play with than her next collection. That one requires quite a bit of practicing unless one regularl. "Most awesome Christmas Piano book!" according to Suzie Pugh. I found a used copy of this book at a book fair for $.50, I couldn't believe my find. It is wonderful, all my favorite Sonatinas wrapped around my favorite Christmas Carols. So beautifully written, for medium advanced piano students. I immediately searched and found a new book on Amazon for my favorite music student. She loves Sonatinas and I know she will use this book for a long time.
Piano arrangements for the Christmas season, a synthesis of traditional carols with standard classical repertoire.
