I consider it an "OK" purchase...By FlyboyyyIm barely an average (or below average) pianist; but I also found a number of incorrect chords; notes; etc... scattered throughout. Decent collection of songs that cover various artists; but a little disappointing. I consider it an "OK" purchase...45 of 46 people found the following review helpful. Great Reference and source book for music studentsBy Clare ChuThis book is very comprehensive; and contains most of the major works of classical music. Since it is a fake book; it does not contain the complete score; but only the melody line with chords marked above the notes. The words/lyrics are included for the vocals; and double-stops where it appears in the original. Also; unlike some other fake books; the compositions appear in their original key. It is both an excellent reference to music appreciation students; concert goers and instrumental students as well as a source of material for beginning music students. Many of the themes can be used in student recitals.The book is plastic tabbed bound; but since it is over 600 pages long it is somewhat difficult to get the pages placed flatly. It also does not feel like it would be that durable because both the plastic tabs may break; or the slots on the pages would easily be torn. The size of the notes is also smaller than most music books. But for the price paid; this book gives good value as there are over 850 classical themes and melodies in one place.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Flawed; Okay; but not GreatBy David B. WohlFlawed. Okay; but not great. Plenty of incorrect notes and especially chord symbols-- most pros can handle the half-diminished chord symbol; but you dont see it in any form (for example in Rachmaninoffs music). Some times chords are missing entirely: Moonlight Sonata; First Movement; for example; has no chords; only the right hand and an indicated bass line! I agree with another persons review; that this was not play-tested by a professional musician. Hit or miss.
