 My book fell apart too September 25, 2008

Is there a reason why the don't make spiral bound songbooks? I know it doesnt look as nice. But, it seems it would function better that way.
 Tori Amos is a gifted writer and a rain drop from a cloud of mystery November 27, 2005

Sometimes I question whether or not Tori Amos is a genius or not, however when i first listened to this album I was blown away by her sense of pure honesty and profound goodness, her words speak to the soul and hang from the heart and her memorable gentle touch is brilliant. She is a wonderful pianist and her lyrics are vivid, intense and often overwhelming although her music never fails to amaze me. I believe my favorite songs on this Cd are Crucify, Girl, Precious things, and Little Earthquakes. Her ability to use her words to blend the truth together has inspired me.

This collection of sheet music, is an absolute godsend. My favorite songs are China and Crucify. When playing, I feel like I am "channeling" Tori. Quite a rush. Anyways, though, the book doesn't stay open unless you rip the pages out. Aside from that, though, it's a great collection of songs.
Great, fun times! November 2, 2001

If you like Tori and like to play piano, this book is for you! Some of the songs are pretty hard, but if you really get into them, they will start to dominate your world. Most of the songs are true to the cd versions, with some changes because most of us can't play like Tori. However, you can hear the song you know and love when you play it. Playing the songs helped me understand them on a deeper level. Definitely fun!

I sympathise with the reviewer who reported the faulty binding. Mine fell apart too... I am a trained pianist and like others, I was disappointed somewhat that the arrangements are never 100% faithful to Tori's versions, a trend obvious in all the Tori albums. This is especially puzzling when often the excised parts are NOT that technically diffcult. But for people with the skill and a good ear, it is possible to improvise your own corrections to make the pieces more faithful - change octaves, maintain accompaniment themes like 'Precious Thing's' famous opening past the intro, as this music *doesn't* do. And what is this thing that publishers *love* to do where they write the melody line into the accompaniment?! It doesn't *exist* in the accompaniment, you *sing* it. This barbaric heresy on performance practice is a sad fact of music publishing, it seems. But overall, it provides good song foundation....but experienced players must be prepared to work around some parts.
