Hello, thank you for the notes and information.
I am looking for the Polish piano music for the beginners and early intermediate level students.
Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

You should have a look at A. Tansman's music. He wrote a lot of pieces for students, from very beginners to intermediate. Super musical and beautiful to play. In this web you can find some of them

You're welcome.

Wieniawski, Joseph (? - ?)
Probably not the famous Józef Wieniawski (1837 - 1912) I guess. ...at least I could not find that Valse caprice in his works...

No, definitely not Josep Wieniawski to my knowledge (his Valse Caprice is Op 46 but a completely different work). Must admit, I have never heard of another Joseph Wieniawski, and think he may be American (based on the publisher).

Hello Angela

Strangely, unlike the Russians, the Poles rarely seem to create albums specific for children or intermediate players unless an album was specifically created by a composer. Tansman is very good for easier pieces. Looking through my collection, these might fit the request. There are more suites by Tansman but I can not post owing to copyright - the attached album is an example of his music for Children (there are 3 further volumes and a Children Suite as well).

Given that the composer died in 2000 this is not possible due to copyright.

Regards
Fred


Yes, under strict copyright, but you can purchase from Boosey & Hawkes (who published the suite in 2003), or any number of sheet music outlets, like Sheetmusicplus etc. Malcolm
