Features: Currently, there is a lack of training pieces for beginners in piano, and this book is compiled to enrich this stage of repertoire. It collects themes from representative works of famous composers from various periods, including the Classical, Romantic, and Nationalist eras, and arranges them into simple children's piano pieces. This allows learners to familiarize themselves with classic world music literature while learning the piano. During the compilation process, the following principles were followed: 1. In the process of from the original orchestral scores, the original harmony was preserved. For pieces with excessive accidentals, transposition was done for easier performance. Necessary piano-style adaptations were made to the orchestral texture. 2. The technical difficulty is controlled within the level of Czerny 599. 3. Considering that piano beginners have small hands, the pieces in this book do not include the phenomenon of playing octaves with both hands simultaneously. 4. A brief introduction is provided for each composer included in the book, to help learners better understand the composer. 5. After each piece, a piece introduction and performance tips are appended for reference by teachers and learners. Beginners in piano should preferably practice the pieces in this book under the guidance of a teacher. This book can also be used by learners with higher proficiency for sight-reading practice.
