Introduction to the Art of Playing the Pianoforte (Op. 42): includes the elements of music, notions on fingering, and 50 fingered lessons – Method endorsed by Beethoven and Chopin !

Muzio Clementi’s Introduction to the Art of Playing on the Piano Forte (Op. 42) was specifically written for the piano and first published in 1801. Beethoven himself recommended and endorsed this method, and Chopin used it with his students. It includes a collection of 50 short pieces for beginners written by eminent composers such as Mozart, Haydn, J.S. Bach and Beethoven, which, combined with the conciseness of the tutorial itself, make this book a remarkable teaching tool. Recommended for every serious piano student looking to build a strong foundation of knowledge.
