The first fifty (yes, 50!) pages of this book consist of an introduction to the author, to the manual, instructions in reading the music, and basic material anyone who has studied music for six months should know...all in FOUR different languages...including Japanese! The CD is well done, except the author/publisher saw fit to omit all repeats on all tracks......there are similar books with CD available, for about half the price....grossly overpriced....

This is a fine collection of works by Tarrega, appropriate for an intermediate-level player. My only problem with it is that the CD which accompanies the book does not contain all of the pieces in the book.

This is worthwhile. Too many competing firms put out sheet music that sounds like a "fake book." This is reasonably challenging, sounds great when mastered. This is the best Tarrega I've found anywhere. True, the book is a bit thick, but no matter...you can pull out the extra pages of languages you don't speak. And though the CD is missing a few tracks, no big loss. A very fine addition to any sheet music library, and it's the best Tarrega!
