Title: I LOVE THIS BOOK OF GREAT CLASSICAL MUSIC!!!
Review: I could not be happier with this compilation of great classical plano pieces ranging in difficulty from quite easy to challenging. What I most like about it is the collection of great recognizable composers such as Chopin, Beethoven, Bach, Schumann, and so many others. I played many of these pieces 60 - - that's right 60 - - years ago when I was a teenager. I had studied for 8 years at the Cleveland Institute of Music. In the last month or two, I discovered that I wanted to go back to piano. Ovrr the decades, I had not left music entirely as I sang with a symphonic chorus for more than 25 years. But piano playing had no longer been a part of my life. I can't tell you how much I am enjoying getting back to this. I have yellow stickies on probably 8 pieces that I want to master. I even have hopes of giving a small recital one day in my 55+condo community. One of the great gifts of getting back to piano at my age is that i am able to bring a life's worth of experience and sensitivity to these pieces tha I could never have brought to them as a youngster or even young adult. I expect this bounteous book to keep me busy for the rest of my life. The only drawback is the way it is bound. I immediately took it to my local Office Depot to have a spiral binding added to it. That makes all the difference in the world.

Title: Perfect for the Intermediate Pianist
Review: I've finding this to have just the right kind of pieces to keep me moving forward in my piano training. They are enjoyable to play, and not too easy nor too hard. Just the right level, and has a lot of really enjoyable pieces.

Title: Amazing Classic Selection
Review: These pieces are arranged beautifully in an easy-to-play manner. I love the arrangement style and easy-to-read sheet music. This book does not have a spiral binder-type of binding to it but it does lay open on my piano while I'm playing just fine, especially if you bend it open when you first get it.

Title: Great Compilation. Great for Intermediate Level Music.
Review: I got this book of Classical Piano Music for my teen. She needs a more intermediate level because she likes to play a lot of the classical pieces, but some can be a bit too complex for her at this moment, & she then gets frustrated/ discouraged when trying to play certain pieces. I figured an intermediate level would help boost her confidence and ease her into music better. I was right.This book has a LOT of great pieces and they sound amazing when she plays. I was surprised at how thick this book actually is.Overall this is a great book for pianist that are above the level of "kid" pieces, but perhaps aren't quite ready for something too complex. A lot of pieces to choose from in this book.

Title: Served my needs!
Review: This book far exceeded my expectations! I have recently started playing the prelude at my church services and needed music that can be played that is in the public domain since we are now on Zoom. The pieces in this book have been easy to learn, and appropriate for a church setting. I have already played several pieces and have several more planned. Even some of the many "excercises" in the book can be combined and played together.

Title: Good Value
Review: Great for reading through a lot of music. Got it for sight reading material and to look for composers that are unknown to me. There are many composers to discover that they luckily added in. Really big book! That's both good and bad. It's hard to keep the book on the correct page if you're on page 1-50 or 280 to the end. They should've made the binding like the real book or something. Still worth it though.

Review: Sheet music still has a purpose and this body of classical piano pieces proves it.Quality paper and high contrast type make it a joy to read.This blows away reading music from a tablet.Long live ink and paper!

Review: Das Buch enthält eine sehr große Auswahl an wunderbaren Stücken, aber es umfasst 386 Seiten, was dazu führt, dass es auf dem Notenständer nicht aufgeschlagen stehen bleibt, sondern immer zusammenklappt. Ein Buchbinder war so freundlich, mir (gratis!) den Rücken des Buches mit einer großen Maschine abzuschneiden, sodass es jetzt nur noch lose Blätter gibt. Es war für ihn eine Arbeit von nicht einmal 5 min. So kann ich bequem einzelne Stücke herausnehmen und muss nicht das ganze schwere Buch zum Klavierunterricht schleppen.
