Features: This book selects short, melodious, and poetic works from Chopin's various genres that are suitable for children to play. For teachers, these pieces undoubtedly add a new flavor to the curriculum; for children, they provide a practical way to get closer to Chopin's music at an earlier age. To enable children of younger ages to perform Chopin's works, while preserving the original integrity of the pieces, this book offers performance tips or technical modifications to lower the difficulty in certain challenging sections through annotations. The editor's notes are marked with an asterisk () or small numbers appended to the original score. Of course, if the child's condition permits, playing the original score is better. May all piano learners and enthusiasts, including children, approach the long-admired Chopin through this book at an earlier stage!
