The Piano Player: Uplifting Classics presents a carefully curated selection of 20 of the most iconic and joyous classical pieces, beautifully arranged for intermediate solo piano.

Featuring artwork by renowned British artist Edward Bawden, the cover showcases his vivid linocut Aesop’s Fables: Peacock and Magpie (1970). A detachable four-page pullout of the full artwork is included, making this edition not only a musical treasure but also a visual one.
