Speaking of charming, easier pieces that are at the same time perfect little performance gems, the great Russian composer, Dimitri Shostakovich, provides a marvelous collection of enjoyable musical moments with Shostakovich – Easier Works For Piano. Although there is a smattering of mid-to-late beginner level pieces, this book is better handled by Early Intermediate to Intermediate players. Many of the pieces are themes from his ballets, films and operettas such as Barrel-Organ Waltz, Spanish Dance, Waltz of the Flowers, Polka, Romance, Sentimental Waltz, and many more. 35 pieces in all.
