25 intermediate level works by 5 Romantic composers, including: Louis Köhler · Cornelius Gurlitt · Friedrich Burgmüller · Stephen Heller · John Field. The selections are quite satisfying, often perfectly encapsulating the essential points of style for several romantic genres including the polonaise, mazurka, waltz, and several pieces similar in structure to Mendelssohn's Songs Without Words...Given the brevity and consistency in texture, this collection works really well as miniature etudes in style...They would also make great encore pieces for an early advanced student presenting a solo recital.--American Music Teacher
