French Suites
I was very interested in this music after listening to a fellow student play it at a lesson.

Chip clip needed
The binding makes this an annoying edition. The pages keep flipping on their own. I wish I had gotten an edition in a ring binder.

inferior paper stock
I've always favored Peters editions because of the superior fingering. However, I was disappointed with this edition of the French suites because the paper is too thick, and it doesn't stay open well. Since this is no small matter I may be buying other editions in the future, particularly for pieces that don't involve particularly difficult fingerings.

I TOALLY AGREE!!
The notes in this book are so clear and it is the only urtext you can find that is more affordable than the other brand names and is not even over edited with blatant articulation and other fandangles that Bach himself never wrote (forget correcting the total dryness for heaven sakes!!! that's why he wrote it as such it is his composition)....any thing that Peters have in Urtext buy it you will not regret it you will save a lot of money i guarantee that.

Bach is one of the best composers!!!
This book is great for people who have high skill in playing piano. This book has very clear music notes and printed on very good paper. Bach wrote these pieces very nicely! Thank you and God Bless You!!!

Can't get better
Any pianist knows that the Urtext edition of Bach's music cannot be topped. If you are a serious pianist, you need these editions of all of the music of Bach.

Early advanced music
I did the 5 french suites (6 short songs) a bit difficult but very nice sounding once you master it. This is the type of song you would do for a college entry tryout. Clearly enjoyed it, I'm 15 years old.
