5 Easy Pieces by Gurlitt

Introduce your mid-to-late elementary students to the expressive charm and lyrical style of the Romantic era with this engaging set of five short piano works by Cornelius Gurlitt from The First Steps of the Young Pianist, Op. 82 and The First Lessons, Op. 117. Written in the key of C major, these appealing miniatures—Swirling, Twirling, Canon, Allegretto, and Copycat—help students develop legato playing, balance between melody and accompaniment, phrasing, articulation, and hand coordination through imaginative musical character and clear Romantic-style writing.

This carefully researched student edition, edited by Elizabeth Gutierrez, includes practical fingerings, descriptive titles, and helpful study notes designed to guide students in listening for tone, shaping melodies, and understanding each piece’s unique musical style. With approachable technical demands and expressive musical content, these pieces provide an inviting introduction to Gurlitt’s beloved student repertoire.
