2.0 out of 5 stars "Ragtime: The Musical" for easy piano a sad disappointment, May 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Songs from Ragtime, the Musical (Paperback)

Because I loved the music from Ragtime: the Musical so much, I decided that it would be fun to play some on the piano. I was severely disappointed, however, when I received the book: The arrangement is hardly ever true to the CD or the score; the author misprints words and even the lyricist's name several times! A sad choice for an unhappy customer.

This product NEEDS to have in the description that it is the EASY PIANO VERSION, NOT the orchestral reduction I thought I was getting. I think it's great for intermediate piano students, and I will keep it as a potential teaching tool, but I'm extremely disappointed that this is not what I thought it was. There is an orchestral reduction songbook that sounds like the CD recording (I know because I've played out of one before), and I'm going to get that next.
