This delightful collection of Preludes provides an excellent introduction to the music of the Baroque period. The album is grouped in three sets of six each: the first comes from the Wilhelm Friedemann Bach Notebook, compiled by Johann Sebastian for his eldest son; the second, which has been preserved in copies made by his pupils, was probably composed by Johann Sebastian; and the third comes from the collection of Johann Peter Kellner, of which only Nos. 5 and 6 are known to be written by Johann Sebastian.

Schumann composed his Album for the Young, in 1848 in less than a month. He wrote at the time: 'I don't remember ever having been in such good musical form ... The pieces simply poured out one after another.' When the work was first published, it was divided into two parts: 'für Kleinere' (for younger people) and 'für Erwachsenere' (for older people). This edition contains the first part (easy to moderately difficult) only. The complete Album for the Young, containing both Parts I and II, is also published by ABRSM.

The Op. 39 Waltzes were composed by Johannes Brahms in 1865. Originally intended as piano duets, the composer arranged simplified versions of the duets for solo piano two years later and it is these that are published here. The Waltzes are perhaps the least demanding of Brahms's output for piano, and their strongly contrasted moods provide an ideal and attractive introduction to the music of this great composer.

Most of the pieces gathered in this volume were written before Schumann was 30; a period when when he was writing many of his greatest piano works and shortly before the wonderful outpouring of songs that celebrated his engagement to Clara Wieck. Schumann's Albumleaves encapsulate this writing in beautiful, miniature form, exploring the warmth and resonance of the piano.

Anatol Lyadov (1855-1914) was a Russian composer, conductor, teacher, and collector and arranger of folksongs.

Eighteen of these are collected in this album to provide varied moderate to difficult repertoire for the pianist.
