Reader Reviews
I taught myself to play piano from this anthology, a few years back. that is not to say that this is a novice's work-- we are not looking at reader's digest. No, this collection contains EVERY piano masterpiece you'd want to play, as well as arrangements of operatic, symphonic and choral works. I highly recommend it, if you can ever find a copy. I particularly like the design of the book, which seems to have been constructed for musicicians-- convenient page turns, easy to read scoring... and you cannot get beyond the breadth of it... from early baroque to early 20th century, this book is truly what it claims to be-- a collection of piano masterpieces Comment | | (Report this)
