Bruce Hornsby Anthology

Summary: years of fun
Review: Two years ago, my folks shipped me my piano, and, after years of non-activity, I have started playing again. This was one of the first books that I bought, and though I have years of work ahead of me if I want to play every piece in here, I am glad that I picked it. The piano part is scored extremely well. I doubt this is what Mr. Hornsby plays (especially having seen him live a few times), especially during the parts where there is full instrumentation and vocals. But the piano solos are scored quite close, and they are fun to play. I have not yet tuned my piano after its most recent move, and with a slightly out of tune turn of the century upright, these songs sound amazing as written. For beginners, some of the intros are pretty easy, and the melody line can be easily picked out. A good overall investment, in my view.
