Great Selection

This is an excellent book, with a wonderful selection of pieces. For anyone learning to play the piano this pieces will keep you happy at the piano. On the other hand, they are also great compositions that will move your creativity.

Excellent Introduction To Bartok

As this edition contains many pieces for beginners and intermediates, it is a valuable introduction to the tonal world of Bela Bartok.
