Reader Reviews
This review is from: Billy Joel - Boxed Set (Popular Matching Folios) (Hardcover)
The first several editions of "Billy Joel Complete" were glaringly INCOMPLETE in that they didn't include sheet music for his first solo album, "Cold Spring Harbor." Now, granted - even Billy doesn't care much for the music on that album, but "Complete" was definitely a misnomer. Until this edition! Now, unfortunately, it's not really complete because "River of Dreams" was released afterwards; but good sheet music is available for that album as well. Now that the collection is comprehensive, my only real complaint is that the transcriptions don't include the solos and other idiosynchrocies, just the basics (though Billy's "basics" are often more complex than other pianists' solos). But other than that, they don't simplify at all - so if you're fairly serious about piano, this book will give you the roadmap you need to learn how to play Billy's songs.
