Classical Piano Songs with Letter Notes

Classical themes are the reward for finishing the nursery rhymes. Beethoven, Brahms and Pachelbel all wrote melodies short enough for a beginner, and the versions here are trimmed to the recognisable opening rather than the whole movement. This is the shelf where black keys, chords and position shifts start to appear.
