The publication contains 25 simple compositions, which were selected by Alois Sarauer and Drahomira Krizkova, and is designed for intermediate pupils.  These are piano pieces of many important figures of European Baroque music (H. Purcell, J.-Ph. Rameau, G. Ph. Telemann, J. Krieger, D. Zipoli) and particularly German Classicism (J. Ch. F. Bach, L. Mozart, J. Ph. Kirnberger, Ch. G. Neefe and others), of which most bear the titles of typical period dances.  The selection therefore represents a highly appropriate repertoire of recital works.<br>
