The Schubert Song Transcriptions for Solo Piano/Series I : "Ave Maria," "Erlkonig" and Ten Other Great Songs

Rating:
Summary: very disappointed
Review: I bought this book for the Erlkonig piece, so this is what my opinion is based upon:

The publisher was too lazy to include the repeating notes, so he simply put whole notes there, with the understanding that they were to be repeated. This makes reading the music much harder than it is suppose to be because you have to divide all the triplets in your head, which can get confusing. The ink has a somewhat faded appearance, as if the publisher took a camera and took a picture of the original scripts and decided to put the pictures all together into a book. The notes are too big as well, so you wind up with empty pages filled with whole notes. The paper itself is very thin and doesn't seem like it will last. I am very upset at having purchased this book. Do yourself a favor and find another edition.
