Piano pieces from "The Pianist"

I agree with the others - it would have been fun to have the Grand Polonaise but I really bought the book for the posthumous piece that doesn't appear in my edition of Nocturnes. It's a very nicely done book, but you'll be disappointed if you were after "the big...

Pretty good...

This book is very very good, the notation is excellent, fingurework well articulated, but there is one major fault with the book that is annoying. It doesn't contain all of the pices from the sountrack, most notably the Grand Poloniase (track 9) which is dissappointing. With the exception of that...
