I am free - you are NOT ! You are brainwashed - I am not ! You...

Carl Fischer has a 3 albums of "Sonatina Album" (after Kohler) which are standard children text books. I saw all editions with similar collections of sonatinas (from China and Germany). The first album is most commonly used. It has works of Kuhlau, Clementi, Bach, Beethoven, Dussek, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Schubert and Weber. It would be great in the future you could put a sonatina collection on your site.

Thanks

That's interesting indeed despite some of those sonatinas are already available for download:

Clementi Sonatinas Op.36
Kuhlau Sonatina Op.20 No.1

and more are included in the three Easy Classical Pieces collections for piano:

We will anyway consider your suggestion to put together a Sonatinas Collection", it would be very interesting and useful indeed.

Thank you again!

Sincerely,

I am again very impressed by your attentiveness in responding my request so quickly. Your respect to each member's opinions is no doubt one of the reasons that your business is so successful.

Thank you so much for all your suggestions and links provided on children’s music. They are indeed gems of teaching. However, the Sonatina Collections (3 volumes) is very important part of teaching repertoire. Please do the First Volume first, it is the most used anyway.

I am quite sure that Schirmer’s has it. The book I am looking at is from Juilliard Library of Carl Fischer Edition. It has 30 pieces most of which are sonatinas with few exceptions such as Bach Prelude, Mendelssohn Fantasie Op. 16-1, Haydn Andante grazioso in B-flat and so forth.

If it is possible, please keep the fingering on the score. Without it, the books are really much less usable. Keep pedaling would be even a plus. Thanks so much.

You are most than welcome! We will do our best by following your suggestions.

Thank you again.

Sincerely,

I am glad there are downloads for these. However, are the quality just as good?
