Abstract:
This study was constituted on the purpose of creating an inventory by scanning the piano
albums prepared for children and young people from Baroque Era to the end of the 20th
century and introducing general characteristics of these albums to be used in the piano
training. In accordance with this purpose, the problem statement of the research has been
defined as "which composers' piano albums composed in the classical western music style
were available for children and young people and what were their characteristics in general
sense?" and according to this problem statement, answers were sought for four subproblems. The universe of this research was the piano albums prepared for children and
young people in the Baroque, Classical, Romantic and the 20th century periods. The entire
piano album repertoire prepared for children and young people, from Baroque Era to the
end of the 20th century, was tried to be reached by scanning resources related to the
solution of the problem. Based on the inventory and analysis study to be created in this
study, the general scanning model was used and albums that existed were revealed through
bookstores, private collections, libraries and online catalog scans. As a result of the
literature review, 160 piano albums prepared for children or young people by 102
composers in total were identified. From those 43 albums prepared by 78 composers have

works, the compositional techniques, the basic musical characteristics and pianistic aspects
