The Classical Wedding: Piano Solo

I was disappointed that they didn't list every song that was in the book in the product description. Consumers like to know what they're getting.

The arrangements range from late intermediate to very advanced. To play them comfortably and with the appropriate amount of emotion, one would need to be a fairly accomplished pianist.

This book contains a number of well-known pieces that fit weddings and other occasions perfectly! There are many beautiful selections from which to choose - I'm planning to use this book for a wedding in 2 weeks, and I'm having trouble limiting myself to a half hour for prelude! Some arrangements are rather challenging, but most can be well learned after a few practice sessions. My only complaint is that I wish it had come spiral bound - I had to have that done soon after it arrived. Other than that, I highly recommend this book!

I recently was asked to play for a wedding in which the bride wanted traditional music. This collection provided ample selections for all elements of the service. Excellent.

I love the songs in this book - easy enough to play, but sound great. I had to practice a few to play in a wedding, but for the most part, it was perfect. The only thing I didn't like was that the book wouldn't stay open. I had to take it and get it spiral bound at a local Kinko's.

Love this book! It's perfect for every wedding and has so much music to choose from. It's very functional and the music in it is mostly accessible so it's not too much work to get the music ready.

I actually played some of the titles on the organ -- they were still accessible. Nice variety of music.

Good selections.

Late intermediate piano arrangements of familiar classical music for weddings. It was just what I needed.

This book is a great value for such a beautiful collection of wedding essentials. Tons of music to play for the prelude, postlude, and pieces for the important walks down the aisle. Or, just to play for fun if you love classical music.

Satisfied

Wow - these are challenging and beautiful pieces.

The content of the book was what I wanted. but there was a major printing defect. The process of returning was prompt and the refund was received within 2 weeks.
