This collection contains the loveliest and easiest-to-play of Chopin's pieces and dances for piano. Besides well-known works which the reader will not want to miss, there are also charming seldom-heard rarities to be discovered. This mosaic of easy miniatures can enliven piano lessons at an early stage by offering the pupil a valuable insight into the variety and richness of Chopin's music.

It was unmistakably Liszt’s piano piece “Les jeux d’eau à la Villa d’Este” that inspired Ravel to compose one of his most famous works in 1901: “Jeux d’eau”. Laid out in sonata form, its sound is governed by myriad motions of water and sustained by innovative, highly virtuosic piano textures against a freely migrating and richly coloured harmonic backdrop.
