A nice addition to my piano book collection.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. This is a good book for an Intermediate Level pianistBy Adam S.This is a good book for an Intermediate Level pianist. While I like the version of "I Dreamed a Dream"; it varies slightly from some solos played on You Tube. I would still recommend the book even if purchased to play this solo.2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. The book would have been better in its printed version.By GnCThis is my last time to buy a Kindle music book. The pages are too small on the Kindle to see well. Navigating on the PC version was really challenging when I tried to play two different songs as a medley. You cant print it or manipulate the pages so it gets zero stars for flexibility.The book itself is fine. Other reviewers have mentioned some jarring jazz chords; but its not too hard to figure out a chord that sounds closer to the original.The medium difficulty was right for my level; and I loved the photos from the stage version.
