Features: In this book, we have provided concise annotations on the genre characteristics of certain works, the authors' biographies and creative features, as well as teaching requirements for piano performance. We aim to closely integrate the teaching of basic music theory, the understanding and expression of musical imagery, and piano playing techniques from the beginning of piano instruction. This approach is designed to fully enhance and develop students' musical qualities and professional proficiency.
Regarding etudes, since works by authors such as Béla Bartók and Carl Czerny have already been published as piano etudes in China, this textbook has selected exercises from those works while also incorporating a significant number of practical etudes written by other piano educators. This is done to make the book more practical and to ensure a more comprehensive technical training.
Some piano pieces in this book can be used as accompaniment for songs. This selection is tailored to the needs of students in teacher training programs who require training in accompaniment. For such pieces, lyrics are often provided at the end. Additionally, teachers can select more and richer accompaniment materials from systematic vocal textbooks.
