Béla Bartók's Ten Easy Pieces composed in 1908, is a set of short piano works designed as an accessible introduction to contemporary music for intermediate pianists. Initially conceived as "Eleven Piano Recital Pieces", it was reduced to ten but includes an unnumbered dedication to fulfill a publishing requirement. Influenced by folk music and Debussy, the set complements Bartók's "14 Bagatelles", though the latter is more challenging. This collection, along with "For Children", remains a staple in piano education.
