"Piano accompaniments are all straightforward and relatively easy. The well-spaced and clear text is fully up to OUP's usual excellent standard of printing. An enjoyable and stimulating set of books, and what makes them exceptionally interesting and useful are the fascinating notes above each piece." - Somerset Music Maker
