A gentle, musical beginning for every young pianist.
Louis Köhler (1820–1886) dedicated much of his life to helping students take their first confident steps at the piano. His Die allerleichtesten Übungsstücke, Op.190 (The Easiest Exercise Pieces) provide a progressive, enjoyable path for beginners, focusing on the essentials of technique and musicianship.
Each short piece develops basic hand coordination, simple melodies, rhythm awareness, and finger placement, all while maintaining a charming musical character. Köhler's gift is making early technical work engaging rather than mechanical, giving students music they want to play while they learn.
