DESCRIPTION:
(Piano Collection). 696 pages.. All 32 sonatas from volumes one and two (edited by Von Bulow/Lebert) have been combined into one, giagntic comb-bound volume
"Really nice edition. LOVE that ring binding." according to Philip A. Carr. The ring binding is SUCH a plus here. No more fighting pages which refuse to lay flat. The edition is clearly printed and easy to read. The paper seems to be thick enough for the size of the volume. I like the editorial notes as well. I would wholeheartedly recommend this edition.. Marginally unacceptable printing I'm quite glad to have this in my small piano music library but the printing quality is actually pretty poor. If I thought they had good copies available (meaning mine is simply a bad specimen) and it would be easy to swap for, I would do it. I don't believe that's likely though, so I'll just hang on to this as a secondary reference. I'll attach a photo of part of page 1, Sonata No. 8 “Pathétique”, 1st Movement, and also a photo of the same piece of page but from a home laser print from the mutopiaproject. I realize that they come from different text. "This is a massive tome. It contains the Schirmer's" according to D. Green. This is a massive tome. It contains the Schirmer's editor's notes. The spiral binding is essential in a book this size and it does lay flat without any problem. I was concerned that turning pages quickly might be problematic, but that has not been an issue. (No, the issue continues to be getting the right finger on the right key at the right time, but I can't blame this book for that.)
