I love "Mikrokosmos" for the piano. Four reasons:
a) all the pieces are beautiful musics.
b) it`s a excellent method for the study of the piano.
c) a good method for the composers (with the Palestrina`s
counterpoint/polyphony and Inventions and The Well Tempered Clavier of
J.S.. Bach).
d) a summarized history of the music: since parallel organum until 20th
century chromaticism.
