This collection centers on the foundational masterworks that have shaped piano pedagogy for generations. Charles-Louis Hanon's exercise books dominate teacher adoption here, with Junior Hanon and The Virtuoso Pianist in 60 Exercises serving as cornerstones for technique building. You'll also find core repertoire like Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and Für Elise, Burgmüller's 25 Progressive Pieces, and the Sonatina Album, all scaled for students working at late intermediate and early advanced levels. The collection spans 1092 titles across traditional masterworks and modern arrangements, with strong representation on festival and competition lists.
Highlights
Teachers keep returning to Junior Hanon and the complete Virtuoso Pianist for systematic technical work. Burgmüller's 25 Progressive Pieces and the Sonatina Album remain popular choices for building musicality alongside technique. Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and Für Elise continue to be assigned regularly as milestone pieces that students expect to play.
