Perfect condition! Love the binding and feel of the paper. Thank you!

Arrived right on time and just as described. Can't ask for more than that!

Very cool book. Great cover! Dover Publications makes an easy to uses, well laid out, easy to read printing of these works.Contents:Danse macabre, Op. 40 - The Dance of Death (1874)Six études pour le piano, Op. 52 - Six Piano Studies (1877)Allegro appassionato, Op. 70 (1884)Album pour Piano, Op. 72 - Piano album (1884) - includes the "Neapolitan song"Rhapsodie d'Auvergne, Op. 73 (1884)Wedding Cake, Caprice-Valse, Op. 76 (1885)Théme varié, Op. 97 - Varied Theme (1894)Three Waltzes Op. 104 (1896) Op. 120 (1903) Op. 139 (1913)From Six études pour le piano, Op. 111 - Six piano studies - includes "The bells of Las Palmas"Six études pour la main gauche seule, Op. 135 - Six studies for the left handThis is a decent representation spanning Camille Saint-Saëns' career. The passion and fury of these pieces are what made Saint-Saëns' reputation as a master composer.A good book. Some difficult pieces, but when you've played them enough you too will have what Saint-Saëns calls "l'independance des doigts" .. finger independence.A good collection for the beginner to challenge themselves with or the accomplished pianist to add to their own opus!

1: The music is REALLY hard. Saint-Saens was not an easy man.2: Franz Liszt isn't that great at transcribing this title piece.3: Everything else is great though.It hasn't happened yet, but I sense that the book is going to fall apart soon. So learn bookbinding and keep it in BETTER condition for cheap.

Una raccolta davvero ben fatta! E poi l'impaginazione è perfetta e chiara. Alcuni brani non li conoscevo. La Danza Macabra trascritta da Liszt è da acclamare per la sua drammaticità.
