Be aware of many errors in this book. Shame on Schirmer publishing company
I bought this book because my nine-year-old loves Chopin. Unfortunately when she started playing with this book on her first piece "Nocturn C Sharp Minor", we discovered many publishing errors in the notes. At first we thought it was just a minor one when she found the first mistake. As she continued to work on the piece, she discovered more and more of them. Her music teacher was so shocked that this book has that many publishing errors. After having to correcting so many errors on the notes we decided it was no longer worth our effort anymore since the marking just gets too confusing on a brand new book that we thought would be better than a sheet music downloaded on the internet. I passed the deadline to return so this book is just sitting here collecting dust, as I don't want my child to play any of the pieces any more to find out more mistakes in the notes that she will have to correct accordingly later. It is such a waste of time. We now only buys books published by Urtext, although it is more expensive. It is worth it. If you are 9nly learning the pieces for fun this book will be okay. But for a serious student or pianist who enters competitions and performs for large audience, mistakes in notes for classical pieces by a famous composer are simply not acceptable.
