Zusatztext What I like about this volume is that the music composed especially or selected and arranged will elicit a distinct emotional response from the player and from any audience they might play to . . . The piano parts in the accompaniment volume that is available separately are readily playable and cleverly written . . . The whole thing is well organised without seeming unduly didactic.
