ABRSM Piano Mix 3 Grade 3-4 Book

A Wonderful Collection of Repertoire Arranged for Grade 3-4 Players

Piano Mix 3 offers a diverse selection of music specially arranged for easy piano, encompassing a wide range of styles and genres from different time periods. The repertoire reflects the type of music included in the ABRSM Piano syllabuses.

In Piano Mix 3, the pieces are primarily at Grade 3 standard, guiding pianists towards Grade 4 by the end of the book. Compiled and edited by David Blackwell, with contributions from renowned arrangers like Alan Bullard, Nikki Iles, Christopher Norton, and Tim Richards, each arrangement is enjoyable to play and remains true to the original composition.

Highlights include Dvorak's Slavonic Dance, The Lark Ascending by Vaughan Williams, and "Consider Yourself" from Oliver. Additionally, pianists can discover lesser-known gems such as "Clog Dance" from Herold’s ballet La fille mal gardee and the traditional Serbian folk tune Djurdjevka.

Review:

"The arrangements lie well under the hands, and are expertly moderated to match the criteria for the grade levels indicated. I was particularly impressed by the quality throughout, and especially taken with several brilliant arrangements by Nancy Litton, Anne Marshall, Nicholas Scott-Burt and Martin White, all of whom show tremendous flair and intuition in their piano writing. All the arrangements in these books are fresh, unavailable elsewhere, and that together they make a fantastic addition to the easy piano repertoire...an essential purchase for any piano teacher, as well as a valuable addition to the music collections of students and amateur pianists everywhere" - Pianodao
