- Playing piano is great – and not just in minor but also, of course, in major keys as well! High time for the publication of the companion to our bestseller Toll in Moll [Finer in Minor] (EB 9410) to complete now the long missing other half. - Playing piano is great – with a selection of beautiful original works, easy to moderate in difficulty. These include both familiar but above all not so familiar pieces from a repertoire varying in terms of era and style. Just by listening to them, these pieces will inspire you to want to play piano more and more. - Playing piano is great – when pianists musically en route to the large wonderful works of piano literature have the opportunity to delve more deeply into the special aspects of piano music from different epochs. - Playing piano is great – with the pair, Greater in Major and Finer in Minor, two piano books that pianists of all ages can always return to and enjoy over many years.
