The arrangements are great. Although this is the easier version, it's definitely very complete and not too simplified by any means. However, the page turns are RIDICULOUS. The publisher gave absolutely no thought whatsoever to a musician who does not have a constant and reliable page turner. And especially with waltzes... really??? Is it that difficult to fit each part of a waltz on one page?? Especially for those of us who may have people trying to dance while you're trying to flip pages back and forth between repeats in the middle of a phrase in which both hands are playing.. Very frustrating.. but good arrangements.
