[Jessica · Rating 5 out of 5]

A nice compilation of Bach's works (and possibly other people's works as well) from the Anna Magdalena notebook. Just a gentle caution that "easy" Bach is still more difficult than most early intermediate works of other composers due to the left hand often having a counter-melody to the right hand.
