Daniel Gottlob Türk (1750-1813), who held the post of director of music at Halle University, was responsible for the most influential keyboard tutor of its day, the monumental Klavierschule. He also wrote these two books of practical pieces to accompany it. Progressing from the simplest two-part pieces to more complex works practising various aspects of technique, the albums provide excellent teaching material for the early grades.
