Title: "Easy" is subjective
Product review: I recently returned to the piano after going 20 years without access to one, and I purchased "Easy Piano Classics 2" after finding it at the music store. It's such a great book I figured volume 1 would be too--I ordered it from Amazon because it doesn't seem to be as readily available. I'm not really disappointed in this book, but in my opinion it's not as good as volume 2. Very notable selections here, but I have to agree that "easy" is a subjective term. Some of these pieces would take a lot of time and work to get them up to speed (one obvious exception is "Trumpet Voluntary"). Of course, instant gratification and learning to make music do not go hand in hand. When I was taking lessons, Mrs. Dunn always encouraged me to play each piece as slowly as I needed to, instead of pushing for speed. I'm also at the point where I just want to enjoy playing as opposed to practicing. I think the more you enjoy it the more time you'll spend, and that's what leads to improvement.
