The Best of Grade 5 Piano by Anthony Williams

The Best of Grade 5 Piano by Anthony Williams

The Best of Grade 5 Piano comprise pieces selected by the major examination boards in one volume that have captured the imaginations of teachers and students over the years, including some old favourites and some forgotten gems. All the pieces are tried and tested and perfectly graded and fingered for Grade 5. This book also provides top-quality music that is ideal as a sight-reading resource for more advanced students. The music has been carefully selected and edited by Anthony Williams, a leading ABRSM piano examiner and selector. There are five books in the series Best of Grade... for Piano, and a similar series exists for Flute (selected and edited by Sally Adams), and Clarinet (selected and edited by Paul Harris).

Every teacher and pupil have favourite pieces in their yearly programmes and Anthony Williams has certainly made excellent choices in these new compilations from old, forgotten examination syllabusesThere are five separate volumes, one for each grade, with twenty of the old favourites in each of grades 1, 2 and 3. These pieces usually disappear into oblivion once out of date, with new generations of pupils unable to experience the thrills and deligths of ten years worth of fun repertoire. Now, they are able to relive many old favourites as well as forgotten gems in their early days of piano lessons. Although selected by grades, the entire collection would make excellent sight reading material for more advanced players.
