Detail 01
Recital book, not a lesson book
Pieces to play and perform. It teaches no new concepts, so it can't replace the lesson book.

AlfredAlfred's Basic Piano Course Recital Book 1B
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Recital Book 1B from Alfred's Basic Piano Course. Performance pieces for a student who has worked through the Level 1B lesson material.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Students prepping pieces for a recital or family performance
- Adding extra repertoire at 1B without jumping ahead in level
- Teachers who want performance material matched to 1B skills
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Beginners who have not started the course at 1A
- Anyone wanting theory drills or technique exercises
- Students already past Level 2 — this will be too easy
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Level 1B
The second step in the course. Above absolute-beginner 1A, below Level 2.
Detail 03
Part of Alfred's Basic Piano Course
Pieces stay inside the notes and hand positions 1B has already covered, so nothing sight-reads as a wall.
Detail 04
$9.99 single volume
A supplement. Lesson, theory and recital books are each bought separately at this level.
Detail 05
Solo piano repertoire
Pieces are written to stand alone at a recital rather than needing a teacher duet part.

Know before you order
- 01Supplement only — you still need the 1B lesson book
- 021B follows 1A; check which one the student finished
- 03Levels are labeled 1A/1B, not 1 — easy to order the wrong one
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What's the difference between 1A and 1B?
1A is the starting level for a total beginner. 1B is the next step up and assumes 1A material is already learned.
02Is this enough on its own for lessons?
No. It's performance repertoire. New concepts come from the Level 1B lesson book.
03How many pieces are in it?
It's a recital-length collection of solos at the 1B level. Piece count varies by edition, so check the contents page before buying.
04Will these work for a school recital?
They're written as short solos at an early level, which is exactly the length and difficulty most student recitals want.
