Summary: A Marvelous compilation of Amazing Music
Review: To start...this book is not for one who is just beginning to play piano..nor is it for a good intermediate player. For one it will prove too hard, for the other quiet simple. The works are all arranged to make them a bit easier. For instance "The Flight of the Bumble Bee," by Rimsky-Korsakoff contains the same trebel notes but in the eighth note (quaver), and the base is much simplified into chords. Nevertheless, the music maintains its quality and will prove beautiful when played right. Other works include "Caprice No. 24" by Niccolo Paganini, "Cantabile" by Chopin, and many other works by Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Strauss, Beethoven, Khatchaturian, Verdi, and many others.

Overall the collection is beautiful, and anyone with some quality experience (early intermediate) will love this book. Enjoy!!!
