Great Piano Solos

This book is excellent. Even though it is advanced, it has a variety of songs, some of which are much easier than others. With this book, you can awe your friends by playing popular songs made into beautiful piano solos.

Dan Coates - Advanced

As a professional pianist, I appreciate the fine arrangements by Dan Coates in his Dan Coates Complete/Advanced Piano Solos. These arrangements are very good and I can use them in any venue. His arrangements sure save time for me -- I can simply perform any of his work as written and don't have to rearrange anything. This is an excellent book.

Beautifully Origional!!

Intricate, Detailed Renditions...Difficult Segmants for the Advanced Pianist.

I'm 20 yrs. old and I have been a pianist for 16 yrs. I have also taught piano for 6 yrs. I HIGHLY recommend this item because these pieces are not simple versions of the origional composed pieces. I'm always put out as I receive an ordered book that is too simple or does not contain a single key-change. Dan Coates is a professional composer who finds new ways to present the enlightening pieces her arranges. Don't try to pass me up by simplifying the music, I want the real piece! He never fails to start the piece establishing the main melody and then gradually building until he finishes with a finale worth presenting to the President. I could not rate higher...well done Mr. Coates!

Challenging and fun

The songs in this book are challenging yet worth it once you've learned them. The arrangements are well-written and flow smoothly when they're up-to-speed. The difficulty range is not huge, and tends to hover between intermediate and advanced. The left hand usually plays broken chords which are simple, yet effectively lay a base for the right-handed melodies. A great selection!

Not as hard as I thought...

I bought this for my wife who studied the piano up to a pretty advanced level, but stopped playing regularly about 6 years ago. Other reviews made me think that it would be a challenging book for her...in fact, she is enjoying the variety and smoothness of it. I guess that is both an advantage and disadvantage...depends on your expectations. One thing is for sure...she is loving it.
