      Chopin - The First Book for Pianists - Book/CD

      This is a great book for those who love Chopin but thought his pieces would be too hard to play. These pieces are his easier works, not edited, and easier to play than the typical Chopin piece. They sound lovely because they are as they were written. The CD is...

      My daughter loves it!

      My daughter asked for a book of Chopin piano music on her Christmas list. It is perfect for her for where she is in her progress on the piano. She is really enjoying it.

      Back at the Piano Again

      This book has been a joy for me. I have severe deformities in both hands (worse in the left) due to rheumatoid arthritis, and consequently my beautiful Yamaha baby grand had become nothing more than a piece of furniture - I thought I would never be able to play again...
