MINSTREL PRESS BACH/GOUNOD Ave Maria Easy Favorite Series

The New Easy Favorite Series is a collection of enduring classics arranged for the beginning piano student. The titles are thoughtfully arranged with the limitations of the beginner in mind, and they are printed on heavy cover stock durably designed to last for many years.

Each piece captures the elegant beauty, rich harmonies, and unique textures of the original work while maintaining an easy-to-read and easy-to-play structure designed to expose the beginner to a complete collection of the world's most popular and recognizable classics.

In this case we bring to you the Johann Sebastian Bach and Charles Gounod Edition of Ave Maria. This beautiful arrangement by Jonathon Robbins is memorialized by revealing its magnificence to a new generation. Schubert's edition has been saturated throughout easy piano literature, so here is an opportunity to learn this staple as it was perceived over a century before Schubert's ideas were conceived.

Be sure to share this theme with all your beginning piano students and take a few moments to educate them about the differences between these composers and their two historically significant works.
