Applause!, Bk 1: Impressive Piano Solos for the Budding Virtuoso

Great, flashy and fun selections in one book!

The book is great but as an adult who has been playing for 18 months, these are still too hard for me.

Great collection of easy-to-intermediate level pieces. Poorly edited.

Exactly what my son needed for his lessons. TYVM^^

This is a very good book. I like the arrangement of the musics my girl is playing from this book.

This is an excellent book of intermediate pieces, no arrangements, various styles & composers. Great for District Festivals!

Great selection of classsical repertoire!!

This book has very easy pieces, but some are recognizable despite being simple. Solfeggietto is one of those pieces where it's easy to learn, but still fun when you've gotten the hang of it. Solfeggietto can be done faster and faster, and still keeping the louds and softs correct, and lifts pretty is a little challenging to do. I would recommend this book as a "for fun" type thing, maybe when adult learners have taken about 2 years of piano, and for children who have maybe taken 3 or so years of piano. It depends obviously on how much you play and how quickly you learn, but this is just slightly more difficult than the Dozen A Day type books, and a lot more fun than those. The first book in the Applause series is easy and good for finger exercises without the boredom of finger exercises. The second book is where things become more challenging, and more recital/contest-worthy.
