{"product_id":"john-thompsons-piano-course-first-beethoven","title":"First Beethoven - Easiest Piano Course","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis latest, classically-flavoured songbook for John Thompson's Easiest Piano Course introduces easy works by Ludwig Van Beethoven, one of the greatest composers ever to have lived. Featuring some very fine compositions, First Beethoven is perfect for pupils reaching parts 2 to 4 of the world-renowned piano course. These fun repertoire books contain amazing pieces that have been specially collected and graded to be used in conjunction with the method. Timeless pieces like Minuet in G Major, Rondo in C, the sublime Moonlight Sonata (1st Movement) and the classic Für Elise will reinforce essential technical ability, while simultaneously enhancing a general sense of musicality and melodic playing. Therefore, First Beethoven is ideal for pupils working through levels 2 to 4 of the course, but it also serves as a great set of pieces for sight-reading practice for more advanced students. The pieces in this songbook become progressively more difficult; to this end, dynamics and phrasing have been omitted for the earlier pieces, since they are not introduced until Part 3 of the course. Early pieces like Ode to Joy and Turkish March help to reinforce what pupils learn in the beginning of the John Thompson method, with a strict focus on playing notes and rhythms accurately. Towards the end of the songbook, more challenging pieces like the Eroica Symphony and Sonata Pathétique will help pupils enhance their technical skills, play more melodically, and, most importantly, enjoy playing. Generally, these arrangements stay in the 5-finger position, providing handy hints and suggestions when a different fingering is called for. The pieces in this songbook are beautiful to hear and to play, making First Beethoven a really great beginner's introduction to classical music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Willis Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56563814859076,"sku":"MUSWMR101475","price":9.59,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/4762\/6564\/files\/198.jpg?v=1775464196","url":"https:\/\/spartitiusati.it\/products\/john-thompsons-piano-course-first-beethoven","provider":"Spartiti Usati","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
