The Piano Solos of Richard Clayderman Anthology

Rating:
Summary: Beautiful songs...
Review: I love playing these songs on the piano. They are wonderful to listen to, and not difficult to play. This book includes all of Clayderman's most popular songs. I especially like Ballade Pour Adeline, Moonlight Sonata, and L'Ocean.
Concerto Des Etoiles and Feelings (Dime) are two great songs for pop competitions. I have performed both and the audience and judge really enjoyed them.
This book is definitely worth buying.

Summary: A Must Have
Review: Richard Clayderman is one of the most famous pianists in the world. This book is one of the very best collections in print for intermediate to advanced-level solo piano. Well arrangements, very very beautiful and all time favorite songs like ballade pour adeline, murmures, and sonate au clair de lune (moonlight sonata).It makes me want to practice more and more lately. Listening to these songs make me want to fall in love. This book is a must have for your home piano library!

Summary: Beware!!
Review: This anthology does have wonderful pieces but they are so poorly written and so full of mistakes. Of all the piano books I have purchased, I have never seen one that is so poorly put together. Some of the music is hand-written and confusing to read. A couple of songs have actual mistakes in them (as in incorrect notes) - when I compared the music to another source. If you play "Voyage A Venise" the way it is written in this anthology, it sounds awful and the notes clash. Compare it to a download sheet of the same song from Noteheads.com - it's written very differently and sounds a lot better there.

I even showed the book to my son's piano teacher and she was amazed at the poor quality & mistakes in the book. So unless you are ready to re-write some of the songs, this may not be the book for you - even if you love the songs in it.

Summary: The Piano Solos of Richard Clayderman Anthology
Review: This collection combines the most popular and beautiful songs (44 total) from the artist's various books since the 1980s. It is not very difficult to learn (about intermediate level) and I have received good feedback from my audience for its beautiful melodies.
