tapped into the wealth of new repertoire

available

at the dawn o[ the new millennium,

and took into

account

the changing

interests

and needs of teachers.

This achievement

was recognized

when The

Pespectirrso

is breathtaking

in its scope,

presenting

a kaleidoscopic

overview

of keyboard

music from the last four centuries. The graded Piano

Repeftoire

books encompass

early elementary to

early intermediate

levels

(Preparatory

to 4); intermediate

to late intermediate

ievels

(5 to 7); and early

advanced

to advanced

levels

(8 to l0). The repertoire

comprises

a carefully

selected

grouping

of pieces

from the Baroque,

Classical,

Romantic,

20th-, and 2lst-century

style periods.

are available

to assist

in the study

and enioyment

of

the music.

In addition,

the comprehensive

Handbook

_{for Teachers}

is an invaluable

pedagogical

resource

A Note on Edlting and Performance Pracdce

Most Baroque

and early Classical

composers

wrote few dynamics,

articulation,

or other performance

indications

in their scores.

Interpretation

was left up to the performer,

with the expectation

that the

performance

practice

was understood.

Even into the l9th century composers

scores

could vary irom

copy to copy or edition to edition. The editorc of Celebrotion

Seies Perspectives@

have consulted original

sources

wherever

possible

and have

kept editorial

additions

to a minimum.

Metronome

markings

include

a range

to assist

the student

and teacher

in arriving

at a suitable

tempo

for each

piece.

Editorial

markings,

including

fingering

and the execution

ol ornaments,

are intended

to

be helpful

rather

than definitive

This edition

follows

the policy

that the bar Iine cancels

accidentals.

ln accordance

with current

practice,

cautionary

accidentals

are added

only in cases

of possible

ambiguity.

Students

and teachers

should refer

to the companion

guides the Student

\Norkbaaks

and the Handboak

for Teachers-for

further discussion

of style and pedagogical

elements. For examination requirements
