Two Kirnberger Dances - Level 4

Featuring: “Les Carillons” & “Gigue in D Major”
A 30-day, done-for-you practice plan to help you build clarity, articulation, and relaxed confidence through two beautifully balanced early-Classical works.

Discover the charm of lesser-known early-Classical repertoire—clear, joyful, and full of subtle refinement.
Johann Philipp Kirnberger may not be as famous as his teacher J.S. Bach, but his keyboard works offer a wonderful entry point into the expressive world of music made during the transition from the Baroque to Classical eras.

“Les Carillons” captures the gentle ringing of bells with flowing motion and graceful phrasing, while “Gigue in D Major” brings bounce and brilliance in a light, dance-like style. Both pieces help develop articulation, coordination, and phrasing—all while keeping the mood relaxed and joyful.

This plan breaks it all down step by step so you can move through the music with structure, ease, and musical satisfaction.
