To a Water Lily

by Edward MacDowell.

This delightful tone poem is from Edward MacDowell's Woodland Sketches.  His "To A Wild Rose" is perhaps too well known and as a result, many of his other compositions have been passed over for transcription.  

Nocturne No. 1 

by John Field.

Credited with creating the Nocturne, Field's delightful melody is challenging and rewarding to play.  Intermediate level.    

Gymnopedies (all three)

by Erik Satie.

These haunting melodies have been favourites for years.  All three Gymnopedies are included  and are particularly suitable for near beginners upwards. Slow music often appears easy but takes good technique to make it sound good.

Magnetic Rag 

by Scott Joplin.

Tuneful and challenging to play.  This is one of our Scott Joplin Collection series.  Not for beginners but intermediate performers upwards will get a lot of satisfaction playing this.   Intermediate level, Grade 4 upwards.

Rosebud March 

by Scott Joplin.

A lively, swinging  "Carnival" march.  As tuneful as all Scott Joplin's works, this lively march is not difficult and will suit all players from intermediate level up.

Solace "A Mexican Serenade"

by Scott Joplin.

This beautiful, haunting tango, the only one that Scott Joplin composed, was made famous when used in the sound track of the 1970's film "The Sting", starring Robert Redford and Paul Newman. You'll love it, especially if you play it really slowly.

The Nonpareil 

by Scott Joplin.

This ragtime number is unusual for Scott Joplin in that he features four separate melodies rather than reprising the first melody.  As usual, the tunes are lilting and memorable. For intermediate to advanced players.
