Fabre Classics: Bk 1

These are snippets of some of the most famous classical Music of all time - they are enjoyable to listen to and play.

One of the suprising things is how good they sound, even in these really simplified versions. Most of these are children's versions, made for kids who are just learning to play piano, so they don't come much easier, and yet they still sound good.

I guess that goes to show that good music is good music, no matter how simple you make it - nice harmony, nice melody - nice......

• 001: Petzold - Minuet in G

  This is a very simple arrangement for complete beginners - and it is also the first piece that has required two hands - but not simultaenously. Always a favourite :)
