The ABRSM 'Easier Piano Pieces' series features pieces chosen for their comparative lack of technical difficulty, therefore providing an excellent introduction to the music of great composers throughout history.
William Alwyn (1905-1985) was an English composer most noted for his five symphonies and over sixty film scores. The three piano collections in this album contain some delightful and colourful character pieces which are particularly well written for young players and useful for the development and extension of the pianist’s technique.
