5.0 out of 5 stars A Near Perfect Collection of the Music of Flanders and Swann, 23 Jul 2000

By A Customer

A superb and beautifully printed reissue of many of the wonderful songs from the revues 'At the drop of a hat' and 'At the drop of another hat' as well as numerous others. The piano-writing varies in difficulty with songs to suit every level of ability (the words are printed alongside and separately from the musical notation): several are printed exactly as they were performed. All in all a quite wonderful collection of the duo's songs: unmissable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Past charm that still brings a smile., 20 Jul 2005

By	"toastuk" - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Songs of Michael Flanders & Donald Swann (Paperback)

For anyone who is a fan of Flanders & Swann and wishes to attempt to recreate their performances then this is the book for you. It is far from a complete collection with many pieces that are ommitted, however this is the best sellection for the best price that I have come across.
A high musical ability is needed (grade 5 piano minimum for most of the easier pieces), some pieces are very simple and will take minutes to play while others will take longer.
The biggest problem that I found with the book was that the sheer size of it made it hard to play from as it would readily fall onto the keys from the piano as I played. Also the pages flick back easily so the book may turn the page itself in the middle of the piece.
I would suggest removing the pages from the book and placing all the pages in a folder as i have to make it easier to keep the right page infront of you.
Anyone of any age can enjoy these pieces and it is surprising how little has changed since they were all originally written.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent reminder, 3 Oct 2002

By	A. Taylor "Author" (Sherborne, Dorset United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book includes all the best of their songs with easy to read music and words. If you just want to remember, or if you want to try and recreate their performances, this is the book for you. It is great just to sit at the keyboard and bash out the basics with everyone joining in around!! Well worth the price.
