With the new Urtext Primo series, the Wiener Urtext Edition wants to fill the repertoire gap arising at the point of transition to additional lessons, after having studied a more basic piano method. Beginning with a performance level which is outlined by pieces such as Bach's Minuet in G (BWV Anh. 116), Mozart's Minuet in F (KV 5) or Schumann's Wilder Reiter (Op. 68/8), works by three different composers are selected for each volume of the Urtext Primo series, with the aim of offering piano pupils (or even adults who want to resume piano playing) a wide range of repertoire pieces, so they can enhance their technical and musical skills. The pieces' range of difficulty is relatively narrow so that the volume can be used continuously over a period of about two years. This is what distinguishes the Urtext Primo approach from almost all common anthologies.

The selected repertoire takes into account not only pieces of the classic canon, but also lesser known works of quality, which are in no way of less importance for piano lessons. The Urtext Primo volumes are published in the internationally recognised standard of the Wiener Urtext editions. The explanations included in each volume help to deepen the knowledge of musical styles, music history and piano playing. A repertoire chart at the end of each volume gives a rough overview of the levels of difficulty of the selected pieces.

After Vol. 1 with works by Bach, Handel and Scarlatti and Vol. 2 with compositions by Haydn, Mozart and Cimarosa, Vol. 3 contains pieces by Beethoven, Schubert and Hummel, including popular pieces such as Beethoven's 'Fur Elise' and lesser known, yet stimulating settings by Johann Nepomuk Hummel.
