There are some very nice pieces in this book but you won't find much advice here. Each piece has performance notes but they don't amount to much. Here is an example:

Johann Sebastian Bach
Air on the G String (page 10)

The "Air on the G String" by Bach is a hauntingly beautiful Piece of Music. (The title - added later by an arranger, not by Bach - refers to the string instruments in the orchestra, not to ladies' lingerie!) This music is often heard at weddings, in movies (Runaway Bride), and in professional figure-skating competitions.

The high, soaring melody in the right hand (played by the violins in the orchestral version) is contrasted by steady, (sic) quarter note rhythm in the left. The left hand keeps the music very grounded, while the melody in the right hand is very elegant and soulful. Playing the right hand part very smoothly helps to make the music sound expressive.

That's it. That's the performance notes for that piece. There is nothing about chord structure or best parts to tackle first or repetition which could be helpful.

The other problem is the book suggests that these pieces could be played by beginners. I beg to differ. Although these pieces have been simplified, an absolute beginner would be overwhelmed by them. I consider myself an advanced beginner and they are not easy for me. They are probably more geared towards an intermediate pianist. ( )
