Guild Repertoire: Piano Music Appropriate for the Auditions of the National Guild of Piano Teachers, Intermediate C & D

Book excerpt: By this level the student is ready for the easiest classics. But the classics in these books are not only the usual easier Bach and Mozart, they also include such composers as Corelli, Purcell, and Krieger. Besides sonatinas by Beethoven, Kuhlau, and Clementi, there are examples by Haslinger, Merkel, and Salutrinskaya. And while most of the Romantics are familiar (Schumann, Tchaikovsky, and others) there are contemporary compositions in new, but not extreme, idioms.
