My First Bach for Piano

From the Publisher

Learning to play the piano with Bach
Easy to intermediate pieces by the master

• Bach as a teacher
• Easy piano pieces
• For beginners with basic knowledge

Learn from the master. Johann Sebastian Bach composed countless pieces specifically for his many students. My First Bach contains many of these educational pieces which are, for the most part, arranged in increasing difficulty. Easy two-part chorales and dances are followed by more demanding little preludes, two-part inventions and the first Prelude from the Well-Tempered Clavier.
