Whether it's young beginners or piano lovers who want to refresh their skills – no budding pianist will be able to resist the charm of these Catchy Tunes. But watch out! There's a distinct possibility that these tunes might grab your ear and not let go! The 18 pieces truly are "catchy" and even a first run-through will get impatient fingers twitching. The pieces are ideal for all fingers and ears, yet make more than simplistic technical demands on the performers. Stylistically, the anthology – whose level of difficulty ranges from easy to medium – is at home chiefly in the fields of pop, rock, Gospel and jazz, but classical elements are also found throughout. Whoever wants to get a preview of what's to come can find recordings of all the pieces – played by Friedrich Grossnick – for free downloading here before deciding whether to buy the book or not.
