Advanced Piano Masterworks

Teachers stock Hanon's Virtuoso Pianist in both comb-bound and Smyth-sewn formats year after year. Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata remains a consistent choice for students crossing into early advanced repertoire. Debussy's Clair de lune and Chopin's complete Nocturnes round out the most-assigned works in this collection.

Recent additions include Agathe Backer Grøndahl's Fantasy Pieces Op. 39 and In the Blue Mountain Op. 44, alongside Mozart's Piano Sonatas Volume II and Ingrid Jacobson Clarfield's Rare Recital Treasures Book 3.

Ludwig van Beethoven's output here runs 77 titles deep, anchored by the Moonlight Sonata, which consistently outsells every other single work in the collection. His music spans the full range of intermediate to advanced study.

Claude Debussy's 60 titles in this collection showcase the impressionist voice that draws students in at the early advanced level. Clair de lune remains a beloved assignment across studios and schools.

Frédéric Chopin's 50 titles center on the Nocturnes, a complete set that teachers use to develop phrasing and touch at the late intermediate and advanced stages. His work appears regularly on festival lists.

Sergei Rachmaninoff brings a Romantic sensibility across 69 titles, with the Prelude in C-sharp Minor standing as his signature piece for advanced students tackling lyrical, technically demanding repertoire.
