Wedding Classics Refreshed, Book 1: Preludes, Interludes, and Postludes (a Collection of 20 Piano Solos)

Digital Sheet Music

By Various

Item Number: S0.218277

This collection of intermediate piano solos includes 20 arrangements of favorite classical pieces frequently used for weddings. All the songs in this collection are well-suited for preludes, interludes, or postludes of a wedding ceremony or as background music for a reception.

These arrangements were created to make challenging classical music more accessible for the intermediate player or easier to sight-read by more advanced players (comes in handy when asked to perform on short notice). Many have been simplified and only include excerpts from the longer original movements. Other simplified characteristics include easier key signatures, timings, and fingerings.

Each of the 20 arrangements is also available separately with accompanying preview pages and audio samples. The audio sample plays “Spring” by Beethoven.
