Bastien Piano for Adults Book 1 (Bastien Adult Piano Course)

Excellent

I was sorry that this volume doesn't contain 'It's Only a Paper Moon'. However, a nice selection and worth buying if the price is right!

A gift fulfilling a request from a very old friend who is still able to play at 90.

I was looking for a particular song - "Stay As Sweet As You Are" - couldn't get it as a single piece of sheet music, so took the plunge and ordered the book. What a great find! A whole book full of quality piano accompaniments to some of Nat King Cole's best (and well-known) songs. I would think that this music is exactly how it was composed, the original version. It's disappointing when music has been over-simplified, so this is a true find.I've now got a new bank of music I can play, whether as piano solos or as song accompaniments.
