The best thing about the book is that it gives a web site address where you can listen to the songs being played. Its helpful for those still learning how to count the notes to hear the songs played at the correct speed and tempo.3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Easy To PlayBy Beth DoddIm a beginning pianist. These songs in the book are simplified so that a beginner can enjoy the world of Mozart. There are different composers in this series. I got Beethoven also. If you want to learn to play these by ear. there is a link to an online website you can go to that will let yo hear the MP3 version of what these songs are supposed to sound like when played properly. I have played a few of the songs and did OK. I have never had a formal lesson. and am self-taught. But in my opinion. everyone who learns piano should have sheet music from various genres in their sheet music library. Classical music like this was pretty much why pianos were invented. They go hand in hand. so Im pretty pleased with this sheet music. Some of the songs are abridged though. but if you are just starting out. this should not bother you too much. It will be an opportunity to learn the basic structure of the classical music pieces anyway. and you can always add more complicated pieces later as you improve.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. InspirationalBy Forest TrowbridgeFrom one genius to another. from Mozart to my grandson Jack. was a most appropriate and appreciated piano play book. Compositions by the 7-year-old Mozart were an inspiration to my 7-year-old grandson and were much to his delight.
