Book Reviews of George Winston Piano Solos
Book Review: high quality transcriptions - one to get if you're a pianst and love Winston music!
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm not a professional but I've played the piano for over 30 years and have spent a lot of time in music stores reading sheet music and putting it back on the shelf 99.99% of the time out of disappointment. If you're a pianist and like George Winston's work, this is a no brainer bargain! The transcriptions are not perfect but they're a fantastic foundation to start. If you know the songs, the errors are immediately obvious and correctable. You defintely have to map out some fingerings. Although, the music was pretty good off the shelf, I did make a few minor modifications and will probably make a few more once I master the pieces. But that's normal and I"m talking minor stuff - if you have a good ear, can read lead sheets or know chords - it's easy. His artistic style really makes the music and these transcriptions are perfect to add your own or duplicate his exact style. I'd rank this at the same level as some of the earlier Elton John transcriptions or perhaps the Emmerson Lake and Palmer book that came out in the late 70s - both of which are not perfect but high quality transcribed material for the most part.
