Sonatina Album - Schirmer Library of Classics Vol. 51 | Piano Solo Sheet Music | Classical Piano Sheet Music | Essential Sonatinas for Intermediate ... (Schirmer's Library of Musical Classics)

It has many beautiful classical sonatas.

Well made. Perfect for the piano.

Though I've said "excellent book for students", the quality of the pieces is nice for players of any experience who enjoy sonatinas that aren't overly complex. I used this as a kid and always had several favorites I'd play every now and then as an adult. There is another version of this book that's identical, except that it has about two thirds of the pieces as best as I can remember. I lost the smaller version I had as a kid a dozen years ago and got this as a replacement. The difference in price between the two versions available at that time was so small it would've been stupid not to get this version. I'm glad I did as the extra selections in this version are nice pieces, though I haven't had much chance to really learn them yet, but the choices that were made to include these pieces was a good call. I have no problem with the fingerings in this book, as with Schirmer books in general. The other good feature is that the selections aren't heavily weighted towards just a few composers; it's a reasonably good spread. Probably no one will like every single piece, but most people will like most of the pieces.

Very challenging music. Im sure I will never play any of it perfectly, but it's fun to try.

A great collection of fun-to-play sonatinas and other pieces. This book is always open at my piano. I enjoy sitting down and playing these favorite pieces when I have a spare moment. While cooking dinner, for instance, I will run through a Clementi as I wait for something to simmer or boil, and as I wait for my husband to get home each afternoon, I pass the time with any one of these works. Truly a classic, and definitely a musical treasure.

My students love this collection of early intermediate classical period sonatinas. The range of difficulty is such that the book should last a couple of years, depending on the interest of the student. Sonatinas are key to their success with upper level literature.

Nice variety.

We like it.

Esse livro é um sonho de consumo pq qdo iniciei no piano a prof pedia sonatinas e só tinha peças avulsas uma a uma na loja pq não tinha celular naquele tempo ( anos 90) e era difícil comprar por encomenda. Depois consegui um catálogo de livros na loja pra comprar pelos correios. Mas agora é q apareceu o álbum de sonatinas q imaginava. Deixei de estudar música por 18 anos e agora estou retomando e finalmente consigo os livros de partituras em todos os níveis. Esses mais de iniciantes são de excelente custo benefício mas os de sonata e peças mais avançadas são mais caros. Mas pelo menos agora temos onde adquirir.

Absolutely fantastic music book! This music is such a joy to play and makes me really happy. There is an excellent selection in this book. I'm very satisfied with my purchase of this book.

I'm enjoying playing these pieces which are not too difficult for someone like me who hasn't played for many years. There's a good variety and the pages are nice and clear and not to crowded so a pleasure to own and play I find.

The cover page and the rest of the pages are soft, so it can open up almost fully and wouldn't close up on its own. However the note are slightly smaller than some of the books I have seen. So if you are going for now sizes, this may not be for you. If you are going for the opening of the book, then you can consider this.

All good
