Simplified arrangements include Musette, Menuet, Rigaudon, and Pr lude from Le tombeau de Couperin; Pantomime, Interlude, Danse l g re et gracieuse de Daphnis, and Lyceion Dance from Daphnis et Chlo ; March, Little Tom Thumb, and Conversation of Beauty and the Beast from Mother Goose Suite; Malague a and Pr lude la nuit from Rapsodie espagnole; and other selections. All pieces are available as downloadable MP3s (see inside the book for details).
