The First Term at the Piano – 18 Elementary Pieces Die erste Zeit am Klavier – 18 leichte kleine Stücke

A collection of beginning piano pieces based on folk songs and dances. A perfect introduction to Bartók's Mikrokosmos Book 1. Includes text in English and German. “This collection, in my opinion, could be an ear-opener for the young student who has experienced Book One of any series, is secure in five-finger positions and enjoys new experiences! The new sounds will be exciting for young ears, especially if the teacher is enthusiastic! You can help their acceptance of these 'new' sounds and rhythms by your example.” – American Music Teacher
