100 of the Most Beautiful Piano Solos Ever | Piano Sheet Music Book | Intermediate Piano Songbook with Classical and Pop Standards | Essential Solo Repertoire for Adult Students and Gift for Pianists Paperback – 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.

Lots of good songs in this book. It is heavy for the sheet music stand if have a portable stand.

This book is for well taught and experienced piano players. The music is really wrote very well to enhance the sound of the piano.Some pieces I had to change, my fingers can't stretch to some of the chords.

These are great 'nostalgic' pieces for the over 50 crowd. Some difficult reaches for small hands, but worth the effort. Bargain price for 100 pieces. The 'spiral binding' is a bonus for quick page turns.

I don't make it a habit of writing reviews. I only write ones when a 5 or 1 star is warranted. So either I'm in love or prepare for my wrath. This sheet music book is quickly becoming my most treasured possessions (as a matter of sheet music). I'm high level intermediate .. not a concert pianist. I can read music very quickly.. I've been playing piano since the age of 12 and let's just say a was born in the age of Aquarius. These are old and new favorites with heart. The arrangements are fantastic sometimes with several key changes thrown in. I cannot recommend this strongly enough. Looking to see if there is a digital version to purchase so that this music can travel with me and my iPad.

Large varity of music but only enjoyed 11 melodies out of 460 pages. Reviews are generally accurate, that was my mistake, none were listed.Lesson learned.

Great songs--easy to learn to play

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!
