„This ongoing series really deserves to be noticed. Michael Töpel has selected the most accessible works of the above composers. Anyone who does not want the complete piano output of a composer on their bookshelves, but who wants access to the most tried and tested teaching material, should seriously consider these publications.“
(Ensemble – January 2004)
„All the volumes score points for clarity and exclusion of unnecessary editing – and good to have a portrait of each composer on the front cover, too .“
(Ensemble – January 2001)
„One of the things I think teachers will appreciate about this set of piano folios is that each volume presents a range of intelligently crafted piano music by a great composer that is within the technical reach of beginner and intermediate students.“
(Paul Somerville in Australian Music teacher Magazine/May-June 2000)
„In fact, the books are an ideal way to introduce different forms and compositional styles before more demanding works are attempted .“
(Paul Somerville in Australian Music teacher Magazine/May-June 2000)
„Emphasis has been placed on the presentation of a wide variety of forms and genres, providing pupils with a microcosm of the chosen composers´ styles.“
(Music teacher – April 2000)
„The series aims to avoid the familiar and oft-published favourites, but rather to explore the less familiar byways. As a result, it offers not only fascinating repertoire for the aspiring pianist, but may be refreshing for teachers as well !“
(Piano Journal – Winter 1999)
„A charming anthology providing a valuable insight into the expressive richness of Schumann´s music .“
