The Nutcracker Suite (Solo Piano)
Until now, the only piano score I have seen for the Nutcracker Suite has been the 1890s edition (No. 328) by Bosworth & Co., that my mother played at age 13 in 1923. Naturally, I was interested in making a comparison between the older edition, and this one. I was happy to discover that both scores matched very well, although I annotated this newer edition to acknowledge some extremely minor differences. It is nice to have a new, fresh copy of the score!

Title for the book was very suitable
I enjoy it. Book arrived on time and in perfect condition. It contains good piano arrangements of the Nutcracker suite that are challenging, but not impossibly hard. Overall a great piano version of the Nutcracker Suite with good edit suggestions as well.
