The earliest piano music collection published in China
A collection of March songs published by the Commercial Press. At the beginning of this century, a large number of western musical instruments were introduced, and piano teaching developed initially in normal schools, missionary schools and some private schools. After the Revolution of 1911, the number of people learning piano is increasing day by day, and the requirements for piano teaching quality are getting higher and higher. In the past, elementary and superficial textbooks were far from meeting the requirements of learners. In order to meet the needs of the vast number of learners at that time, the Commercial Press printed a number of foreign piano music collections. The March Collection is the earliest piano music collection and the earliest piano teaching material published in China.
