Alfred Piano School New International Edition Piano Book Volume 2

The New International Edition of Suzuki Piano School, Volume 2 includes piano lessons in French, German and Spanish translations, Romantic and 20th-century pieces. The contents have changed slightly with minimal reordering of the music. The Mozart Minuet and Bach Musette from the earlier edition were eliminated and replaced with two new 20th-century pieces by Bart³k (noted below), and the Bach "Minuet in G Minor" (from J. S. Bach's Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach) has been moved to Volume 3. Other improvements to Suzuki's music instruction program include a cleaner appearance with less editing and spacious engravings, as well as more detailed titles that include the keys, sources, composer dates, and catalog numbers.
