Advancing Piano Literature
Advancing Piano Literature includes the repertoire students study after being fully introduced into the world of classical music for several years. Some of the pieces at this level are part of the standard concert repertoire, but most are very well written "miniatures", often written by master composers or great piano pedagogues. I offer these to my students to give them a model to aid them in their study of these great pieces.
My basic text for this level of piano study is Piano Literature - Volume 3 compiled and edited by James Bastien. Other repertoire I use to supplement this level of literature will also be included in this page.
