100 of the Most Beautiful Piano Solos Ever Spiral-bound – January 1, 2014

As a pianist with years of training but a frustrating lack of sight-reading skills, stumbling upon "Classic Piano Favorites" felt like discovering a hidden gem. This book not only offers a rich collection of beloved classics such as Ballade Pour Adeline, Moon River, and Memory but also presents them in a format that's conducive to my learning style.Opting for the spiral-bound edition turned out to be a wise decision. The convenience of being able to lay the book open flat on my piano stand is invaluable, enhancing my practice sessions and overall user experience. While I initially debated between the paperback and spiral-bound versions, the extra investment was undoubtedly worthwhile.However, one minor disappointment is the absence of lyrics printed alongside the songs. As someone who enjoys singing along while playing, having the lyrics included would have been a welcome addition. Nonetheless, this doesn't detract significantly from the book's overall quality and utility.In summary, "Classic Piano Favorites" is a must-have for pianists seeking a diverse repertoire of timeless classics. Whether you're a seasoned musician like myself or a beginner looking to expand your musical horizons, this book offers a wealth of familiar tunes in a format that enhances both learning and enjoyment. With its spiral-bound design and meticulously selected repertoire, it's a valuable addition to any pianist's library. Highly recommended, with the only caveat being the absence of printed lyrics.

I read the reviews and as a piano player for 52 years-the arrangements are fine. The long intro (several pages) in Somewhere Over the Rainbow is very close to how Judy Garland recorded it. Also the complaints about 5 note stacks in the right hand-people, people, people. . .who taught you???? You roll that chord stack up. Start with the lowest note and just play it like a ripple (in one count). This book is a keeper and has many lovely arrangements. I feel like making an appointment at the nearest nursing home and playing a few pieces. Moon River anyone? The book is enormous and worth every penny. Spring for the spiral version. I love it.

This is mostly late intermediate to advanced . Lovely tunes from movies, Star Wars, etc.. Some swing stuff. Clair de Lune with 5 flats!I am kicking myself. Get the spiral bound as this book is thick and heavy. I am going to have this one spiral bound. Otherwise, 5 stars!

I Have ordered quite a bit of piano music lately and sent it all back for various reasons. I’m an intermediate level player, certainly not concert level. This collection of arrangements is 460 pages of mostly familiar songs. They are beautifully arranged and just fun to play! Definitely a keeper

Very good

The music in this book contains NO lyrics. Unexpected and a little disappointing.

This collection of music is really fun to play. It's got a lot of fairly well known music in it which makes the songs a little easier to play and there are others that I've never heard of which are turning out to be fun to play as well! The book is bound together very well and sits open on the music stand without having to put things in front of the pages to hold it there. Arrived in perfect condition from Amazon.I haven't played the piano actively for at least 5 years, so I'm just getting back into the swing of things but I took lessons for more than 10 years. I haven't had any problem with reading the music, but my fingers sometimes don't want to keep up as well as they used to. As soon as I stop being so rusty, the songs will come along. There are no symbols or signs in the book that I've come across that I don't understand. I would say this book is average difficulty. Harder than easy piano but not as hard as many other books that I've seen. It's wonderful that the songs are translated to be piano solos, because they sound beautiful!I would recommend this book to anybody who's looking for some fun music to play, that's been playing the piano for a while. It's fun, challenging without being too difficult, and just a great time!

Many good Piano songs. I bought this book. My daughter bought same one, but with rings to lay open flat - more expensive.

No lyrics and most pieces lack fingering notation.

Great piano music book with classical and pop Hollywood pieces. Large format which is very pleasing for the eyes.

I would suggest you get the Kindle version. I have read quite a few reviews complaining that the book is unreadable due to the fact it won't stay open. I thought the arrangements were quite nice. Although I already have many of the songs, most of the arrangements were original which I enjoyed playing. I haven't been able to work out how to get the kindle extension in Chrome browser working unfortunately. I think that is only possible from the Amazon.com site and I bought mine off Amazon.nl. The Kindle app Windows/Android does work well however.

Das Buch ist sehr umfangreich und mit 11,15 € unschlagbar günstig. Die Songs sind toll arrangiert und gut spielbar-

Ottimo. Bellissimo librone. Completo. Consigliato anche per chi ha qualche problema di vista dal momento che sn caratteri abbastanza grandi e soprattutto con molto spazio bianco
