Review (PDF) Beethoven: Introduction To His Piano Works (Alfred Masterwork Edition)
A fine assortment of Beethoven's works comprises this collection including bagatelles, dances and sonata forms. Dr. Palmer's introductory material emphasizes Beethoven's use of pedal, rubato, ornamentation and articulation with an especially fascinating look at legato in the composer's keyboard music.

I am happy that Beethoven wrote some sonatas that a near beginner can play. The book arrived in good condition. I had lost my previous copy and now I can continue to play the two sonatas I have learned. They are a welcome change from the Bach inventions that occupy my piano time most often.
Good arrangements for varying degrees of playing ability.
