The Best of Ludovico Einaudi Paperback – 1 Jan. 1900

I absolutely love this book. I find it so relaxing to sit and play these pieces as they have just the right level of difficulty and repetitiveness. The pieces are absolutely beautiful and are really good at improving emotion in ones playing as it is required to make the pieces as emotive and varied as they are on the album. There are a good number of pieces in this book so i've been able to learn them all and yet still feel challenged. I'm of Grade 7 standard technically however I stopped having lessons a fairly long time ago so i'm not of that standard currently. I would say Grade 4/5+ would enjoy this book and I certainly have. The binding is not perfect as the middle pieces need propping open but the quality of the book otherwise is good.

I've been a fan of Einaudi for years and have always wanted to learn to play his songs. Having recently purchased a digital piano I thought I'd dive in at the deep end. "Le Onde" was top of my list. The sheet music is accurate - more accurate than my ears at least - as what I thought was going to be "easy" was in fact much harder than anticipated. Even so, I'm enjoying this book and challenging myself to play better!

Love Einaudi and I love playing it! I was grade 2 twenty years ago and now I've started playing again and this book is perfect. Although I love all Einaudis music, some has strings so not all the peices work. But my favourites are Le Onde, I Giorni, Neferi and Primavera.Only problem is is such a thick book you sometimes have to bend it right back to keep it open - which doesn't help with the ease of reading.

I thought when buying this book that the list of tunes looked the most comprehensive of the EInaudi ‘best of’ piano books out there, however it does not include ‘nuvole bianche’. This is a disappointment to me as I will have to buy ‘Islands’ for that. It would be nice if a ‘best of’ actually contained the best of an artist rather than omitting their top hits.

My daughter had been playing pieces from this book since she passed grade 4. This has a great collection of lyrical pieces. Definately my favourite of her piano books. Expensive, but a lovely collection. Definately good for grade 5 and above, grade 4 students may need to be selective about which pieces they play. Personally I find this collection much more intersting than traditionally 'classical' piano music.

Happy with quality of print and paper. Wonderful pieces to play.

Beautiful book , lovely pieces both easier and a little more harder for those who have mastered the piano. Wish the book cover was a different material as it can be difficult to keep it open without breaking in the seams.

Perfetto

It's a great collection of pieces and the binding is solid and will hold up to use. I'm enjoying playing from this collection.

Riesengroßer Fan von Ludovico! Die Lieder sind sehr schön, teils einfach, teils schwerer also für fast jeden etwas dabei.Vor allem gibts sehr viele Stücke zum kleinen Preis.Unbedingt empfehlenswert für alle Klavier-Liebhaber 🥰

I'm an intermediate to advanced intermediate player who mostly plays classical music and jazz standards. I've dabbled in some New Age piano and have a few favorites like some of Yiruma's pieces, but I typically find most of that music doesn't have much replay value. Einaudi's work is somewhere between classical, new age, and pop, and it's wonderful and beautiful to play; although I've only had the music a few weeks, I expect to return over and over to this music.I was able to play every song by sight the first time, so it's not difficult to play. But it's not simplistic, either. There is a lot of room for interpretation to get the songs just right for your preferred style and playing instrument. The book itself is high-quality and the score is very clean and easy to read. This is a gem that I wouldn't hesitate to pick up.

tanto el libro como el servicio son impecables.
