4.0 out of 5 stars
A good introduction.,
By
This review is from: Chopin: An Introduction to his Piano Works (Book & CD) (Paperback)
This doesn't try to be really challanging, but it does give tons of good pieces to start with. I'd say it's a good way to get to know our friend Chopin and his music. It has a pretty even mix of various music styles from Preludes to a Polonaise or two. In general the pieces get harder as you progress through the book (as is usual). The volume is clean and does contain some suggestions on how to play some tricky parts. However, these suggestions are written in the book with the lightest of font which can make reading them a chore (the darkness varies to show what was written by Chopin and what is simply suggested). As I said before: it's a good beginning book which will prepare you for some more comprehensive volumes.

This review is from: Chopin: An Introduction to his Piano Works (Book & CD) (Paperback)
As a piano teacher I am always searching for collections that are user
friendly for my students. This collection contains shorter works, in their original form, with accurate detail and editorial suggestions as to interpretation. I would recommend this book to everyone wanting a first time introduction to Chopin's most famous works!

Almost perfect Chopin,
By
This review is from: Chopin: An Introduction to his Piano Works (Book & CD) (Paperback)
Alas, the last waltz suffered two cuts.
Well, 18 whole pieces out of nineteen is almost perfect.
