ABOUT THIS BOOK — (60 pages) This beautifully engraved 2nd Edition presents beneficial and enjoyable piano music graded for beginners through advanced levels edited with new and practical fingerings based on minimalist principles. Muzio Clementi published his Six Sonatinas, Op. 36 circa 1799, which have been a main staple for pianists of all levels for over 200 years. Traditionally, the C major fingering model has been assumed for most scale passages, yet it is shown in A New & Improved System of Scale Fingering (BachScholar, 2024) that there are often better solutions than conforming to this old-fashioned fingering model. The new and practical fingerings presented in this edition break all the rules with fun, daring, and ingenious solutions that greatly enhance the learning and performing of these wonderful works. Conservative teachers steeped in academia may not approve of some of these clever fingering “hacks”, yet students claim they are so easy they should be illegal!
