Great book, Chopin is a genius.
One little downside is that the notes are quite close together making sight reading slightly harder for me. Then again, they've squashed all of Chopins nocturnes waltzs and preludes into one book, so that can be forgiven.

I'm a great fan of Chopin and have his works in many different books, so i bought this to consolidate his pieces in one place. The book contains all of chopins preludes, nocturnes and waltzes, including the works published after his death (e.g. nocturne in c sharp minor), and are all fairly well printed with good fingers and markings. My only slight critisism is that the music is occasionally rather dark and bold print, probably from cramming in so many pieces, and that the individual pieces dont give the key in the titles, a hassle when flicking through to find a specific piece. Apart from that, this book is a joy to use, and I can see it keeping me busy for a very long time. I thouroughly recommend it, especially at such a low price.

As my review of the Complete Beethoven Sonatas will probably reveal, I am no expert on modern piano music books. Most of my older student manuscripts open flat without any fight, or even a faint whimper in protest.
This one feels a tad easier than the Beethoven book - the spine is differently designed and allows itself to be manipulated.
Putting aside any reservations about structure, everything else about this book is fine. It's great value. It's just chock full of all my favourite Chopin Preludes etc, and on a bad day I think I'll never get the hang of them. There are no concessions towards less able pianists such as myself, but in a way that is quite reassuring - as I make progress, I am feeling that it has something to do with my own improving technique, rather than that someone has lowered the bar.
Clear print, and on this basis I would be very happy to order other examples in this series (now sizing up the Etudes which I shall no doubt massacre in a similar way).

A nice Book
Very nicely produced book, not easy to play, but will suit the more advanced pianist. A delight to learn and play.
