      Good to get your foot in the door

      This is not the best edition for authenticity, but for the most part it does give you a big chunk of the notes. I have this edition, and what I do is compare it to urtext editions in the music store, then pencil in differences between this edition and the...

      Not authentic

      The Well Tempered Clavier, hard but genius

      The only problem I have with this book is the print is very small and there are alot of notes to read.

      Exceeds expectations.

      I didn't know what to expect, being very much a beginner - the first prelude and probably the easiest in the entire first book is more than a challenge for me and it alone would have been worth the cost of the Book I which includes all 48 preludes and...
