40 fast and wild pieces from the Baroque to modern era. Music by Bach, Burgmüller, Clementi, Czerny, Grieg, Handel, Schumann, Tchaikovsky, and others. Challenging the tempo -loving pianist, this large collection of etudes, scherzos, variations and very lively character pieces are a treasure trove for piano lessons. Twelsiek (editor of this Schott Piano Classic Edition) selected these pieces because of their fast tempos, but she considered piecesthat would provide a musical array that will stimulate a student 's technical development and execution and sense of imagery. The repertoire includes composers from the baroque to the modern eras. . . I look forward to helping mystudents consider how 'Allegro ' and 'Presto ' can conjure many more ideas than 'fast!
