ABRSM: Piano Mix Book 1 (Grades 1-2)

Compiled and edited by David Blackwell, Piano Mix 1 is packed full of brilliant music that has been specially arranged for Easy Piano. Featuring a diverse range of styles and genres from centuries ago to the present day, to help pianists progress from Grades 1 to 2.
 
The repertoire in Piano Mix 1 reflects the type of music in the ABRSM Piano syllabuses. In Piano Mix 1 the pieces are mostly at Grade 1 standard, helping pianists progress to Grade 2 towards the end of the book. The series has been compiled and edited by David Blackwell with arrangements by Alan Bullard, Nikki Iles, Christopher Norton and Tim Richards to name a few. Every arrangement is enjoyable to play because it fits well under the pianist’s hands while remaining faithful to the original work.
  Well-known music includes Handel’s Fireworks Minuet, Saint-Saëns’ Lion from The Carnival of the Animals and opera classics from Bizet and Verdi. There are also lots of unsung melodies to be discovered, like Dowland’s Lute Song, Harry J. Lincoln’s Bees-Wax Rag and a traditional Swiss piece called In the Alps. From the Orchestra to the opera and from folk to jazz, there’s a world of music at your fingertips!
