errors
There are a lot of mistakes in this book. Overall, it's nice to have a large group of music in one book for an experienced player who can play these pieces. For a learner, the levels vary quite a bit and is not organized by level but by composer, and there's too many mistakes that a learner may not be able to pick out.

The Library of Piano Classics Book 2
The library of Piano Classics Book 2 has a challenging array of many compositions from the most well known classical pianists. I find it a great book to include in my practices as an intermediate student. I think I will use it in years to come. A great value.

A good collection of Music
This book while having a good collection of music in it has some mistakes in these classical pieces. Prelude in C Minor (Op 28 No 20) by Chopin has a mistake written at the end of the 3rd measure. The note should be clearly flatted. In the Funeral March by Chopin (Op 35 No 2) they change the Urtex edition of the phrase to tie the notes together in measures 14 and 15. The paper is of a bright white and I didn't feel the printing was all that great. Some of the pieces look like they came out of the copier machine at work. Some of the songs in this book have big notes throughout the song, and then some have very tiny notes, which makes it hard to read. Publishers do this so they can save money on paper printing. However, with the many failures of this book, it does have a nice collection of music and may get you interested enough in a song to go out and get the Henle edition of it.
