Ludovico Einaudi: Graded Pieces for Piano Preparatory to Grade 2 | Beginner Piano Sheet Music Songbook with Companion Exercises | Piano Method Book for Students Teachers and Adult Learners Paperback – 13 April 2018

If you like Einaudi but the full scores are a pipe dream because you are a beginner of mature years this is a book that gets you playing some of the simple melodies. The pieces are graded so you can expand your repertoire as you improve. The pieces are a pleasure to play and sound good to the non-pianist audience. It would be great if other modern composers produced similar graded books of their works. My daughter would have loved this when she was learning as a child 25 years ago.

Absolutely amazing book. The music is all at a level which I can actually play (with some practice!) and still sounds great. I feel like I’m actually playing something I want to play which is a really nice feeling. I have found the app works great too, can play audio of each piece so I can hear what it should sound like, and can also practice it using the app too. This is definitely by far my favourite piano book now. Each song is usually a couple of pages with a page of practice bits for it on the page before, which is just the right amount for me as a beginner.

This is a great book with the beautiful music of Einaudi. It’s ideal for someone who hasn’t been playing long who wants to attempt some ‘real’ music. Quite an expensive purchase but I’d still recommend. Delivery was also prompt. .

I just received this, so I have yet to start it, but I am already blown away by its quality. The first thing I noticed was the beautiful visual design of the whole thing and the quality of the book, the paper etc. Probably not what you think of, but you appreciate it when you see it. Italians are renowned for design, so I can't help wondering if Einaudi had a hand in this himself!It has a decent number of songs (20), including some of my favourites, like Primavera and Experience, and it's sensibly built up in terms of difficulty. There are written tips at the start of each piece - a brilliant idea - and a free app, where you can listen to all the songs and then practice while it listens to your actual playing.Honestly, I can't think what else they could have done to make Einaudi accessible for people like me, who want to get back into piano after many many years. Can't wait to get started!

I had this collection of sheet music delivered today and I can already tell it will be one of my most cherished reference books for years to come.Simply incredible quality, the app works well and the audio and sounds check features will be very helpful in learning those exquisite pieces by Ludovico.If you’re reading this review and you’re unsure if the book is worth £17+, please know it’s worth every penny of it and more.

I needed this book for my grade 2 exam, so happy with it.

I love this book. It has got me back into playing piano after many years. I adore Ludovico’s music and I love being able to improve my piano skills by playing these accessible versions. Having the free app has been brilliant - I don’t use it to practice but I love to hear how they’re meant to sound. The exercises to get you into each piece are a great idea. Sometimes I wish they’d help out with the fingers a little more than they do but otherwise, perfect.

Great book. Extra study elements not so helpful.
