Features: When selecting works from The Classic Piano Repertoire, the musical characteristics are our primary consideration, as they are the focus of student learning. When choosing musical pieces, it is important to pay attention to their inner meaning, which allows students to quickly grasp the features, emotions, and personalities of each piece. Some works are well-known, while others are rarely heard but can still be appreciated by teachers and students through performance. The selected musical works in these volumes can be used as repertoire for solo and group competitions. All pieces in this book are based on the earliest available editions and include fingerings. Teachers and students can make appropriate modifications to the fingerings based on the performer's. In some cases, primarily in Baroque works, we have added performance indications and a few dynamic markings. Regarding the use of the pedal, it should be handled with caution. Due to acoustic considerations, the effect of using the pedal varies on each piano and in every hall, so we generally do not arbitrarily add pedal markings.
