"Simple Music for Sight Reading" contains material for practising sight
reading for the piano and pianoforte. "Sight reading" refers to reading
and performing of a piece of music notation that the performer has not
seen before. The material consists of simple sheet music that is ideal
for those attempting to learn the skill. Contents include: "Quick Test
in Reading Intervals", "Sixths", "Sevenths and Octaves", "Steadily",

increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are
republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality
edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the
history of the piano.
