Mozart: 45 Selections from Symphonies, Concertos, Operas, and Piano Works (World's Greatest Classical Music) [Paperback] Review

This is my new favorite music book as it includes such a wide variety of music. The composers included are both well-known and lesser known.There is much to choose from:

Mozart, Grieg, Verdi, Massenet, Godard, Gounod, Godard, Wagner, Cui, Tchiakovsky, Liszt, Ponchielli, Gottschalk, Schubert, Lange, Chopin, Beethoven, Haydn, Bizet, Handel, Schuman, Dvorak, Brahms, Csibulka, Rubinstien, Boccherini, Saint-Saens, Field, Strauss, Yradier, Delibes, Gautier, Debussy, Donizetti, Thome, Mendelssohn, Rameau, Scarlatti, Wagner. The piece I've been especially playing lately is Offenbach's Barcarolle. And, I have this piece in several other books-- this is, by far, the best version I've seen.Unlike Tales of Hoffman, many other pieces included in the book were composed specifically for the piano and, although they may be excerpts of longer pieces, they are edited well and are included exactly as the composers wrote them.

Although there are a few easier pieces included, the difficulty level is mostly advanced intermediate to expert (and beyond what I can play well).

All of these pieces are also available free from various websites, but the arrangements here are superb. Part of the fun of getting a book such as this is the introduction to pieces you might not have known before.And, as this book includes over 140 selections, there is likely to be something new in here for everyone.

Great bargain!
