Friedrich Kuhlau - 6 Sonatinas Op. 55 (1823)

Friedrich Daniel Rudolf Kuhlau (German; Danish sometimes Frederick Kulav) (11 September 1786 – 12 March 1832) was a Danish pianist and composer during the late Classical and early Romantic periods. He was a central figure of the Danish Golden Age and is immortalized in Danish cultural history through his music for Elves' Hill, the first true work of Danish National Romanticism and a concealed tribute to the absolute monarchy. To this day it is his version of this melody which is the definitive arrangement. His Sonatinas for piano, together with the Clementi sets have been studied pretty much by any pianist reaching the intermediate stages in his/her studies.
