The Whole Steinway Series is a Treasure

Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2016

Verified Purchase

I can't emphasize too much how excellent the whole Steinway series is. Unfortunately, they're getting harder and harder to find, and I was told at a music store that they're out of print now. If you can find any of their Stylings of the Great Standards series, grab them before they're gone. I only have Book 1 and Book 4, but have ordered Book 3, which seems to be unavailable at present. They are sort of high intermediate to advanced arrangements, and without exception, I've found them to be the best arrangements I've played of each particular tune. The Standards series comes with two arrangements of each standard: A fairly advanced jazz arrangement, and another arrangement as originally written. Even if you're just looking for the standard arrangement, you'll never find a better, more authentic-sounding arrangement. I love all the tunes in Volume 1, especially Over the Rainbow, Where or When, All the Things You Are. I would categorize them as intermediate to high intermediate arrangements, and the jazz versions are more advanced.

Good things for the average pianist.

I knew Ed back when Sheet Music Magazine was his primary vehicle, but I had no idea he was such an awesome arranger. Way to go, Ed!

Another reviewer said to "buy these books (there are 6 or 7), learn the songs and go get a gig playing dinner music." Whomever the reviewer was, he was totally correct. These are the arrangements people want and expect to hear.

The arrangements aren't easy but they are doable. Worth every second of the time invested. Ed and Stuart, what a great project you've put together.

This is a wonderful series . . . Great arrangements of the great standards . . . Pulled from the original song sheets. See Vol. VI for my further comments.

The arrangements are wonderfully complicated and challenging. I wish I'd known it was a book of duets, I'm not sure if I would have purchased the book had it been marked more clearly.

Great Standards

As a pianist, this book is quite valuable. The regular sheet music is at the intermediate level while the arrangements are at a higher level of difficulty. Either way, buy this for a pianist and they will have several hours of enjoyment.

Great Jazzy Arrangements

Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2014

Verified Purchase

The arrangements are gorgeous...with sophisticated sounding chords that are not so difficult to play. I also like that they provided guitar chords, too. This is recommended for people who have intermediate piano-playing skills. Hours of fun, I guarantee.
