Great music for advanced players October 18, 2008
Sabina Amanbayeva (Newark, DE)
The book is for advanced piano players. I bought as a gift, but the recipient needs to practice for a long time before he can actually play the notes!
Chopin had the keys. August 30, 2008

2 out of 3 found this review helpful
When one plays the music of Chopin the keys on the piano actually become keys.Keys to another universe.This universe is no doubt where he is right now and forever.I do not believe the bar has been raised higher for the piano than Chopin raised it in his 39 years.This is a great bargain as well.I had been playing his Preludes in an old book I had that has now fallen apart from so much use and I gladly would have paid this price for the Preludes alone.I am just now getting into the Nocturnes and the second one,which I believe is in E flat I had heard years ago somewhere and always wanted to know who had composed it.Painfully beautiful.Of course than again so is everything he ever did.Highly recommended.
excellent book July 27, 2008
Richard W. Martin (raleigh, nc USA)
not that i/ll ba able to *play* many of the pieces here. i have always liked the schirmer library series. this has quite a lot in it compared to some volumes.
(just to add to my previous review - no i may never be able to play these pieces live, but, in the age of garageband, i can do so on the computer with amazement. and orchestrate them. let your imagination run wild).
worth every penny April 20, 2008
pathetique
i've never thought getting this would be beneficial since there are tons of free resource on the net, but i was wrong. better arrangement, more detail, it's just better for learning and playing. again i'm an beginner, but i like this book so much. chopin all the way!
Chopin's Preldes/Nocturnes/Waltzes master pieces December 9, 2007
Stjepan Brbot (Zagreb, CROATIA)
This is an excellent book from Schirmer's Chopin collection "Complete ...", in this case "... Preludes, Nocturnes and Waltzes". Really amazing collection of Chopin's master pieces. This book worths every cent you invest in it.
