The Festival Collection, Book 2

The Festival Collection® is an eight-volume series consisting of exceptional repertoire from the Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Twentieth/Twenty-First Centuries. This series is carefully leveled from elementary through advanced repertoire, with each level covering the gamut of your repertoire needs. The Festival Collection® is a companion series to the Succeeding with the Masters® series, expanding upon the repertoire selections with no duplication of repertoire between the two series. Each book includes recordings of all the corresponding works to guide students in their interpretation.

The Festival Collection® will provide teachers and students with a wide range of works that are carefully chosen for their pedagogical merit. They will be a key component for your students' success in their studies of the works by the masters!

Book 2 continues on the path toward the master works set forth in Book 1, providing students with continued exposure to the repertoire available at the Late Elementary level. In Book 2, the literature choices increase gradually in difficulty, adding more musical and technical challenges for careful and continued growth in the students' studies. This collection will give students the opportunity to polish their abilities in playing the repertoire that spans the Elementary level. Features pieces by composers such as: Arcangelo Corelli (Sarabande); Beethoven (Russian Folksong Opus 107, No. 3); Louis Köhler (Theme and Variation from Opus 300); and Manfred Schmitz (Mister Czerny in New Orleans).
