IntroductionFor a long time I had intended to write some piano pieces for

children and beginners. My aim was to create original works,that are relatively easy to play but nevertheless interesting andchallenging modern classical music in "pure piano Beneking-Style". Now the 24 miniatures are finished, and I hope thatmany people will enjoy them!

 As with all my scores, there are no markings in the scores, because I would like to encourage even the beginners (maybe

 with the help of their teachers) to develop an individualinterpretation of the piece.Pedal usage is recommended. Children who can´t reach thepedal can play the pieces without pedal as well.

Please feel free to copy and share this booklet! All pianists, teachers and piano schools can use it without any cost!

It can be downloaded on my website, where you will find manymore works for free usage: http://www.beneking.com/zita 

If you want to have a printed copy of "Zita in Wonderland", youcan buy it on Amazon at production cost (5 USD, 4 Euro).

 Also I am welcoming all recordings -especially from children

and beginners- and would offer to upload them onto mySoundCloud page and/or YouTube channel:https://soundcloud.com/stephan-beneking http://www.youtube.com/user/steveberlin0815 

For any questions, feedback and comments highly appreciated:stephanbeneking@netscape.net 

Sincere thanks to the pianists Pamela Chng, Andrew Eales andHal Freedman for their support and advice during this project!
