Graduation4. Joy5. Loretta and Desirees bouquet - part 16. longing7. lullaby8. new hope blues9. prelude/carol of the bells (I am personally biased to this one...AMAZING)10. reflection11. stevenson12. thanksgiving (also very lovely)13. thumbelina14.

Great FindBy Shawne MooreI love George Winston so I was thrilled to find this. It even has an intro with Mr. Winston explaining how he views the music and his recommendations. Im just picking up the piano again in my adult years so I have to admit that this sheet music is slightly too advanced for me; but it is not written at an advanced level. I would say its intermediate so I will be ready in a year or two I hope.19 of 20 people found the following review helpful. Great music - bad transcriptionBy BrianI love George Winstons music and the fact that I gave this book 3 stars has nothing to do with the quality of his compositions. However; while I was learning "Prelude/Carol of the Bells"; I noticed some fairly egregious errors in the transcription. It would be one thing if there were some small formatting errors; but Im talking about blatantly incorrect pitches that dont even fall within the chords indicated above the staff. I have confirmed these errors by comparing the sheet music with the original recordings.A cursory look at some of the other pieces in this collection revealed more small errors. The best thing to do if you want to learn Winstons pieces note-for-note would be to compare these transcriptions against the original recordings. In other words; use this volume as a guide but dont trust it completely.
