Ágnes Lakos writes the following about her four-volume piano tutor, enlivened with cheerful illustrations by Christina Diederich: A friendly piano tutor, without dry finger exercises, full of little masterpieces and colourful as a picture book! Piano playing can only be learnt with attractive, good quality works from the very beginning. J. S. Bach composed masterful character pieces for his children and his many pupils 18th-century piano tutors contained a selection of performance pieces, so that from their first encounter with the piano, learners could feel that they were performers. This is precisely what we are aiming at too. The piano pieces in the four volumesrepresent every stylistic period of music history. The numerous works for three or four hands can be performed together with the teacher or with another pupil.
