Features: This book is divided into four parts. The first part covers the Baroque period; the second part covers the Classical period; the third part covers the Romantic period; the fourth part covers the 20th century. Each part begins with textual discussions, accompanied by images, presenting the stylistic characteristics of architecture, painting, and keyboard instruments from each period in a richly illustrated manner. Then, the works are arranged in chronological order based on the composers' birth years, with brief introductions to each composer and explanations of some important musical forms in relation to the pieces. To help students better understand music history, this book includes as many original works by different composers as possible, some of which may not be widely recognized. However, considering students' piano proficiency levels, the book selects piano works suitable for their skills, which means some works by major composers are not included.
