The 21 pieces in this collection represent some of the best miniature masterworks in piano literature. These pieces were carefully selected not only for their overall quality and musicality, but because they primarily stay in five-finger position. For maximum benefit, students should work through the skills that are comprehensively presented in Pathways to Artistry: • Technique, Book 1.
