Handel Miracles for Piano
Six Easy Minor - Key Solos That Piano Students Love to Play
Selected and Edited by Michael Mauldin
Published by legacy publisher, Trigram Music in 1998. These piano pieces are easy enough to learn and enjoyable to play for beginners or those who want to take on a 2nd instrument.
The rich colors and worldly elegance of some of Handel's easier minor-key
keyboard works are powerful vehicles for those intermediate students who yearn
to share serious music, but whose technique often relegates them to llighter
works. All but two of the pieces chosen for this collection are in d minor (a
favorite key), but a variety of colors and effects are found in each .
The fingering, dynamics , articulation, phrasing and realization of ornaments are
my own careful, considerate editing. The variations selected for this edition are
those with appropriate technical demands and length of focus for the
intermediate student . Of course, Handel composed additional variations of which you will want to be aware.
