More about this title

About the Creator: Dr. Jane Magrath

Dr. Jane Magrath has spent decades building curricula that bridge the gap between method books and serious repertoire. Her editorial instincts consistently land on pieces that sound impressive without overwhelming students, and her program notes reveal a deep understanding of what intermediate pianists actually need to hear and play.

Why we love this

Magrath has done the hard curatorial work here: eight pieces that genuinely span musical eras and styles without feeling like a survey course. The pairing of two complete recital programs means students can learn an entire concert's worth of material without duplicating effort, and the repertoire choices showcase technical growth without abandoning musicality.

What to expect

A journey across centuries of keyboard writing: from baroque clarity to classical grace to romantic character pieces. The collection balances technical display with genuine musical storytelling, so students experience both the discipline required to execute notes accurately and the freedom to shape phrases with intention.

Who it's for

Intermediate pianists preparing for auditions, competitions, or recitals who need vetted material spanning multiple styles. This book works equally well for teachers assembling a year's worth of guided repertoire study.

How to get the most out of it

Start with the Purcell to establish a confident, articulate baroque foundation; its shorter length makes it an excellent confidence-builder before tackling the larger Beethoven Sonatina.
The Burgmüller and Bartók pieces near the program's end reward expressive control; practice these with intentional dynamic shaping to showcase musical maturity alongside technical facility.
Record yourself playing through each complete program start to finish; audition nerves respond better to familiarity with the full arc than to isolated polishing of individual pieces.

How to use it

Choose one complete program for a solo recital, or mix and match individual pieces across multiple student performances throughout a season. The Purcell, Heller, and Bartók work particularly well as opening or closing pieces for group recitals.
