Beware the few Dover publications that are 3/4 size with compressed score (ex. Bach Keyboard Music). Those are too hard to read.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Schumann Piano SeriesBy MetroLike all Dover sheet music for the piano; Dover does a wonderful job of maximizing the music contained on a page; while taking into consideration "page turns". The pages always seem "neater and cleaner" than many other publishers.Sadly; the books arrived with all the top pages "curled". I cannot imagine how the shippers caused that; considering the books have upwards of 250 pages!
