this book has the most poignant piano solos yanni has already composed. My favorite is his gorgeous piece for his mother Felitsa. Sounds Classical yet contemperory. The biography about Yanni contains some fascinating information.

This is a must-have for all pianists who love Yanni! Each piece is emotionally moving and ingeniously intricate, though not so intricate as to be impossibly difficult. There are only one or two typos that most people would miss, but they never detract from the integrity of the piece. "In The Morning Light" is exceptionally beautiful, and is not that difficult. "Until The Last Moment" is another excellent piece, although it is the most difficult in the entire book. I could keep on listing my favorites, but that list would include pretty much every song in the book. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

This is a great book for anyone who wants to play some of Yanni's best piano solos for themselves. It is not too hard to do, nor too easy. It does not include every solo from In My Time album; but it is still very good. I have enjoyed it very much. The only problem I have is one that is inherent to Yanni's composing style: there is a lot of repetition in his music, and I have had to stop and figure out where to go next with a lot of the passages. It is not a problem with the product-it is just his style. Very nice book-I would recommend it to Yanni fans as well as pianists who would like to play some challenging, different, beautiful music.

I bough these two books for these specific pieces: Marching Season, Nostalgia, The Rain Must Fall, One Man's Dream, Whispers In The Dark, First Touch, The Mermaid and In The Morning Light... Having the talent to play all of these pieces on the piano, it is actually A RARE TALENT. If you read, write music and love Yanni's music, I suggest these two books. Each piece in this book has its own meaning to Yanni, but I have a different/my own point of view, now that I have learned these great masterpieces...

This music challenges my wife to no end, but it sounds beautiful in my home. Nice quality book with wonderful music. Highly recommended for the accomplished piano player.

This is a very thorough Piano Book of Yanni Songs. The music was large enough to see cleary, and enough room to make notes in. I am enjoying it immensly.

I love this book! The music is beautiful and intriquing. The biggest challenge with this music isn't necessarily hitting all the right notes - it's playing with the ease and sensitivity to make it sing. Even though this book does not have a spiral binding, the binding is made in such a way that it stays open very well. Well done!

This book contains a good selection of Yanni pieces that are not too hard to play yet reproduce the original music very faithfully.

Ever since my daughter was little, she and I have loved Yanni's music. This was a Christmas gift to her. It is so neat to hear her playing the compositions we have listened to for so long. She has taken piano for 10 years and is learning this music easily. She loves this book.

I ordered this book for the specific reason of getting "The End of August" played for my walk down the aisle at my wedding. I am anticipating this event, and with having this book, after the wedding I will have the song permanently in my heart. I have seen Yanni 5 times, have 23 of his CDs, and also met a few of Yanni's musicians through a contact. He is a special artist and I will always cherish my memories for the rest of my life.

Cheers!
