With composer biographies. "Especially appealing teaching pieces are the selections from Beach's Children's Carnival , Op. 25; Children's Album , Op. 36; and From Six To Twelve , Op. 119. Also notable are the spirited Baroque-style dances from Chaminade's Album d'enfants , Op. 123, a collection which resembles Kabalevksy's pedagogical works...The pieces by Farrenc and Carreno are more Romantic and lyrical in style...The pieces in theis volume are remarkably original and diverse, and offer an important and much-needed contribution to the intermediate piano literature."-- Clavier Companion "Smith's extensive research lends credibility to this volume. Beautifully presented and visually appealing, the layout is so well spaced and formatted the score is a pleasure to read."-- American Music Teacher
