Five stars for the music, and minus 5 for the edition. Not only is it expensive, the book will not stay open no matter what you do. And by that I mean that it not only swings closed, but it then unbalances and falls off the piano - even after I tried to break the binding so it would lay flat. What was the publisher thinking - that you have two people to stand there and hold the book for you while you play?

I have recently purchased this edition and must say am very pleased with the printing and paper quality, as well as offering some alternatives, but it lacks the useful commentary of the Henle edition.
