Book 2 is arranged over three levels; Intermediate, Late-Intermediate, and Early Advanced, similar to Grades 4 – 7. The intermediate level contains seven pieces, and Late-Intermediate and Early Advanced levels feature six works. There are Baroque numbers by Elizabeth Turner and Maria Teresa Agnesi, Classical-style works by Hélène de Montgeroult, Helene Liebmann, Maria Hester Park, and Cecilia Maria Barthélemon, and Romantic pieces by Louise Farrenc, Luise Adolpha Le Beau, Mon Schjelderup, Maria Görres, and Theodora Dutton. Contemporary composers include a beautiful jazz-inspired Minimalist piece by German composer Julia Hülsmann. British composer Jenni Pinnock and Malaysian composer Jessica Cho have both written their pieces, especially for this volume.
