This book is exactly what it says it is- The music from the movie. It is perfectly reproduced. Obviously there are changes when switching from an orchestra to a piano, but once you get past that, it's really fun to be able to sing the entire Munchkinland Musical Sequence (for instance) and have it be so similar to the original, a staple of my (and everyone else's, I think) childhood. A great addition to anyone's music collection.
