Things to consider
Dizzy Fingers and Kitten on the Keys are the most popular selections here and work well as performance pieces or teaching repertoire. If you're building a band program around this era, the Kitten on the Keys conductor score (Grade 4) pairs nicely with the solo versions. For pianists, start with the Novelty Masterpieces book if you want context and variety, or grab individual sheets like Dizzy Fingers if you're targeting specific pieces.
