Naoko Ikeda: The Graded Collection

24 exquisite works for solo piano by Naoko Ikeda, exclusively matched to the grade criteria of the major examination boards by Andrew Eales. With fresh engravings and editorial practice notes, this unique folio shines a spotlight on the music of Naoko Ikeda for pianists of Grade 2–5 level.

"This is a most beautiful collection of pieces by a composer who should be far better-known. This collection reminded me that just because we progress to learning harder pieces, we should always enjoy going back to playing easier pieces. There is so much satisfaction to be found in simply playing, teasing out every ounce of expression and musicality. I think this outstanding collection should be on the shelves of students and teachers everywhere. It’s fantastic value, and the music will not disappoint. Highly recommended without hesitation." – David Barton, www.DavidBartonMusic.co.uk
