Title: Just like the original book from my youth
Review: You can't go wrong with anything from the Schirmer's Library collection. They are the classical music standard.

Title: Great Music That is Fun to Play And Listen to.
Review: There is something for everyone in these compositions. Mendelssohn was quite a genius. Each composition is definitely a song that doesn't need any words to set a mood and allows the musician to express that mood only with the music. There are different levels of technical ability in each song - which means there is something in these pieces for everyone - from intermediate to advanced.I have found that listeners who are not fans of classical music will enjoy listening to these compositions because they are entertaining - more like popular music than classics. And extensive musical knowledge is not needed to appreciate them.

Title: MUSIC,MUSIC,MUSIC!!!
Review: Just what the junk journal needs. Sheet music. I got tired of looking in the junk stores (thrift) for music paper of any kind. SO I BIT THE BULLET and bought 3 of these. SPENDY for just ripping up, I know, but a girl has to do what a girl has to do. One of them has over SEVEN HUNDRED pages! I believe I'm set for life!!! They are nice books too. I plan to coffee/tea stain some of the pages for a vintage feel. Great books!!

Title: Contains 49 Songs
Review: I've always liked Schirmer music editions because their layout is always nice and easy to read. However, one reviewer mentioned that this volume is not the absolute complete collection of Songs Without Words. So I compared it with Complete Songs without Words for Piano (Dover Music for Piano) and Schirmer in fact has 49 songs. Dover ("Complete") only has 48. The 49th song from Schirmer's is the Venetian Boat Song published posthumously. I chose this book over the Dover edition because apart from the notes being bigger, the editor added some helpful fingerings here and there as well as pedal marks. I am not concert pianist caliber so I could definitely benefit from a little editorializing. The Dover book was purely notes from start to finish and contains more music in a page so it's 40 pages less than Schirmers. For my needs and skill level, this book is just perfect.

Review: Wonderful songs, and includes many that are playable by a beginning intermediate pianist. I especially love the Venetian gondola songs, op 19 no 6 and op 30 no 6, the latter was one of the first "real piano pieces" I learnt. Some of the songs in the Schirmer collection could be of better print quality, they look like they had gone four rounds through the copying machine. But most are good. Overall, the best collection of sheet music I currently own.

Review: A solid collection, well bound and practical. One (inconsequential) nit to pick: It is not immediately clear from the edition whether piece titles are in parentheses because they are translations or editorial additions.

Review: L'intégrale des romances sans paroles de Mendelssohn sur un seul volume de qualité à un prix dérisoire . Pour tous les pianistes c'est une aubaine . Ne pas hésiter à l'acheter .
