Things to consider
Arensky's character pieces and suites work well for students transitioning from standard method books to Romantic literature; start with the Children's Suite or individual morceau if your student is late intermediate, then progress to the larger suites. Piano duets are ideal for studio partnerships or student recitals. Physical books from the Masterwork and Peters editions include fingerings and editorial notes; digital downloads are best for quick access or if you prefer to mark your own performance notes.
