4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent coverage of Songs without Words
I have been working from the Schirmer text for some time now, and think that it offers an excellent coverage of Songs without Words. All of the essential Songs are included, although this is not the absolute complete collection. The pieces are clearly laid out and easily to understand. The only real drawback is the lack of metronome times.

2.0 out of 5 stars Over-edited.
I always like the layout and look of the Schirmer editions, but I ended up returning this one in favor of an urtext edition because it was so heavily edited. It seemed that nearly every measure had some editorital addition, and while I don't mind a little bit of commentary to clear up a phrasing or dynamic issue, this was really over the top.
