Title: Perfect
Review: I love playing from any of the Phillip Keveren books. They are wonderful arrangements of well known songs. I use these songs for performances and just for the general enjoyment of playing. Most songs are easy enough to sit down and play after a few runs through, but complicated to sound pleasing.

Title: This is my favorite Phillip Keveren piano book.
Review: If you love beautiful memorable romantic film theme songs that will live on for decades, then this pianobook is for you as it contains the best of the best. These arrangements by Phillip Keveren are intermediate indifficulty, but sound so amazingly masterful, that I truly enjoy learning them each day. I have twelve piano booksby Phillip Keveren, and this book is by far, my favorite. From "Somewhere in Time", "Forrest Gump - Main Theme","Ghost" (the heartfelt song in the movie that depicts the penny moving up the door), "Godfather II" to "Rudy - MainTheme", they all sound incredible. For the early advanced, is the "Theme from ET" but well worth the extra timeneeded since it duplicates the movie music so perfectly.....and it will make you sound like a true professional at the piano.

Title: Nice Mid-Difficulty Arrangements Of Film Scores
Review: These selections of film scores by arranger Phillip Keveren are easily readable, but mid-difficulty arrangements. As one who has played and performed on the piano for many years, I found these arrangements to be some that can be played by anyone with practice who has any expertise other than the bare beginner.

Title: Fun to play
Review: These piano pieces are nicely arranged. There is some variety in difficulty level, although most of the songs probably hover around a late intermediate level. I was able to play Legends of the Fall on the first run through without any problem (although the song was still very pretty), but others took a few days to master (Rudy, St. Elmo's Fire). The Rudy selection is my favorite so far. The piece is gorgeous and sounds exactly as it does in the film. I haven't had time to mess with all of these songs, but off the cuff, ET looks like the most challenging of the bunch because of the fast tempo.These songs are beautiful and I played three of them at a wedding at which I recently provided background music. I enjoyed the book so much that I gave a copy to two of my siblings.

Title: Exquisite arrangements
Review: Truly beautiful arrangements of these film themes. They are not too hard, even if challenging in places. There are no weird keys like too many sharps or flats.

Title:
Review: The Schindler's list and Forest Gump arrangements are my favourites in this book, and liked them so much, I bought another for my sister.I find the repetitive octave chords in some arrangements a bit weak, but otherwise, am always loving Phillip Keveren's series.
