In order to introduce these “lmpressionists of the Baroque Era” to piano instruction, the editor has added to this series a folio of both Couperin’s and Rameau’s ( EB 8033) music. The selection of the pieces is based on two criteria: 1. relatively modest demands made on technique, 2. various musical forms of expression. The “Butterflies” and the “Windmills” are both especially typical of masterful character pieces. The demands made on technique certainly correspond to a level of moderate difficulty. The simplifications made are restricted to the artistically realized twopart accompaniment (eg. p. 4 f. and p. 8 f.) with regard to finger stretch and to the profuse ornamentation of the original.
