The New Piano Anthology

This Anthology was over 600 years in the making!

The New Piano Anthology is a 22 volume survey of the repertoire written for the keyboard (piano and ancestral stringed keyboards).  It includes music from the earliest existing manuscripts of the mid 14^th Century through to present day.  It is both scholarly in its source research and practical in its broad application for pedagogical use and serves as a substantial and comprehensive personal library.

The New Piano Anthology is also structured in a unique way; the collection is divided into five levels according to the technical and musical demands. Rather than being graded each level represents a different musical development stage; each stage typically representing two-three years of study. The initial level is designated Novitiate, followed by Proficient, Apprentice, Connoisseur and finally Artist.

Each level is comprised of four volumes according to musical period: Renaissance & Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Modern. The collection has been compiled to be as inclusive a survey as possible.  Sonatinas and Sonatas are presented in their complete form as are several sets of the Romantic and Modern character pieces. A conscious effort has been made to include many great composers whose fame did not extend  to today.
