This is Volume 2 in a 4-Volume set of the songs of Stephen Sondheim. I have all four volumes and, as a pianist, I am grateful to Warner Bros. Publications for making these masterpieces available to the general public. Some of Sondheim's finest inspirations are contained in this volume:
"Good Thing Going", "Take Me To The World," "Not A Day Goes By,"
and "Sunday" from the Act I finale to "Sunday in the Park With George". Also included are some numbers from the obscure, (but very funny) "The Frogs," a 1974 production performed in the Yale University swimming pool, and a dozen other songs. For Sondheim fans, and soloists in particular, this volume and its companions are treasures.

This volume contains some of the best of Sondheim. If you have volume one you have to get number two.
