Title: Useful in moderation
Review: In terms of standard 17th thru 19th century repertoire, this is a comprehensive repertoire listing, which is particularly useful for teachers of advanced piano students to help choose pieces for students. A "difficulty" rating is assigned to every piece of piano music, which I would take with a grain of salt - this is certainly subjective. There are lots of nice unexpected surprises listed - works that I didn't know existed, and information on their publishers. In terms of modern repertoire, there are some helpful suggestions, but I think that the field is simply too big (as well as constantly changing as new composers come along), so pianists should investigate their contemporary music choices through other channels.
Is the review positive or negative?
