What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Piano solo format
Two-stave notation for one player. Not arranged for duet, voice accompaniment, or other instruments.
Detail 03
Anthology binding
Many works in one book, so it is thicker and less likely to stay flat than a thin single edition.
Detail 04
Under $25
Costs about the same as one standalone classical edition, so the value is in the piece count.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check the contents list — anthologies vary and may skip the piece you want
- 02Book only; no CD, download code, or audio included
- 03Thick anthologies often need clips or a weighted music desk
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What level is this book?
It is a repertoire collection rather than a graded course, so difficulty varies piece to piece. Check the contents against pieces you already play before buying.
02Is this the same as Volume 2?
No. This is the first volume. Music Sales also publishes a second Library of Piano Classics with different contents.
03Does it teach you to play piano?
No. It contains the music itself, not lessons. Pair it with a method book or a teacher if you are still learning to read notation.
04Is it piano solo only?
Yes, it is written for one pianist on standard two-stave piano notation.
