Romantic piano pieces
The 19th century was the piano's golden age. Chopin, Schumann, Liszt, Brahms, Grieg and Tchaikovsky wrote nocturnes, waltzes, character pieces and albums for young players. Romantic music asks for a singing tone, flexible timing and the sustain pedal, and it includes some of the most rewarding easy pieces ever written.
