Dear collective wisdom:<br>
<br>
Does anyone have any knowledge or insight into the genesis of the
short piano arrangements of Haydn excerpts collected and titled "12
Easy Pieces" by the Russian publishing house <i>Muzgiz</i>? The
imslp page for the pieces is here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://imslp.org/wiki/12_Easy_Pieces_(Haydn,_Joseph)">http://imslp.org/wiki/12_Easy_Pieces_(Haydn,_Joseph)</a><br>
<br>
In particular, I'd be interested to know who made these arrangements
and for what purposes (I assume they were pedagogical).<br>
<br>
All best,<br>
<br>
