MY NEW PIANO or KEYBOARD! - Share Your Story! There are much more interesting collections available at a better price point.ĭigital Pianos - Electronic Pianos - Synths &a. These compilations are good if you can get a really cheap price in some collections where you get a lot of various pieces of similar difficulty which gives you an overview of different music in a given range. The Henle book cost 20 euros or so and for that price Wiener offers the complete Nanerl pieces and the London Sketchbook ie 160 pages of music for 26 euros. The number of pieces is really limited and the price is high. Then in terms of price point, they are not really interesting.

Whats the point ? I was never quite able to get the rationale of it and I dont thing Henle is selling a lot of those.

Or the Schubert one which has some pieces (out of 12) really easy and then an ABRSM diploma level piece. So if you are a beginner most are too difficult and if you are intermediate many are already too easy. For example the Mozart one has 60 pages and pieces which range from very easy to RCM level 10 and above. Personally I dont see much interest in buying expensive books of small compilations. If you are trying to build some sort of library, it is much more interesting to buy scores of full pieces. For everything I’m learning now, I’m either relying on my current books or other sources like IMSLP, although I’m planning to get the Henle editions for those too. I am trying to buy stuff that I plan to play in the future, but since this sale is very good and these books don’t often go on sale, I’d like to stock up on core repertoire that I think I will be exploring in the future. Why don’t you base your buying decision on the composers you are already playing or will play imminently? You can add others as you play them.
