Such familiar works as Beethoven's "Sonatina in G" and Clementi's "Sonatina in C," Op. 36, No. 1 are balanced by lesser-known sonatinas of Latour, Wanhal, Halsinger and Pleyel. Palmer's helpful edition includes a brief introduction to sonatina form and a short biography of each composer. An excellent choice for early-intermediate to intermediate piano students.

These six intermediate-level sonatinas generally follow the traditional three-movement form (sonata-allegro, slow movement and rondo). Containing an excellent blend of Classical and Romantic period harmonies and lyric motives, the sonatinas lie well under the hands. A fresh alternative to Clementi's Sonatinas, Op. 36 and Diabelli's Sonatinas, Opp. 151 and 168.

The pieces in this collection have proven to be favorites of elementary through early intermediate students throughout the years. There are 23 pieces in Book 1 and 33 in Book 2. The Accompaniment Books contain specially composed second keyboard parts for the teacher, parent or more advanced student.
