Tchaikovsky's Opus 39 is a great set of short pieces for early to late intermediate pianists. Tchaikovsky sub-titled this collection "24 easy pieces (à la Schumann)". Like his predecessor, Tchaikovsky had the innate ability to write for young people, as illustrated here with this set of charming and characteristic miniatures. The main challenge in this piece is the coordination between right and left hands. The right-hand plays legato, with the melody constantly leaning towards the downbeat while the left has staccato notes.
