The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street
In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence. Piano Street now provides sheet music for his complete piano works: a body of music that resists spectacle, even as it brims with invention and brilliance. Read more

Schumann's "Viennese Carnival"
on: June 12, 2009, 03:44:09 PM
My goal is to teach a transfer student (who has excellent rhythm, note reading, & sight reading skills and comes to me with 5 years of solid piano study) Robert Schumann's Viennese Carnival (Mvt I).  This student adores Schumann and this piece. 

My student already plays about 10 Bach 2-part Inventions and he's in the level 5/6 of Frances Clark's Piano Literature books - 17th, 18th, 19th Centuries; Contemporary; etc. just to name a few of the books he plays from.

Could you please list some pieces, in order of difficulty, that would take my new transfer student from where he is now to his desired Schumann piece? 

TIA
