Complete Fairy Tales for Solo Piano [Paperback] Review

I had first known of Medtner's music when my piano teacher played one of the fairy tales for me.I only thought it was okay, because my teacher was by no means a virtuoso.Then I saw a video of Marc-André Hamelin playing Fairy Tale op. 26 n.1 and I was hooked.I've learned that piece now, and I play it every day.The only thing about the book I don't really like is the binding.It's bound like a paperback book you'd buy in a store, which makes it difficult for the book to stay open on the stand when you're playing.In fact, I wish all music books could be bound like the Alfred Masterwork editions of Chopin's music.Those are easy to open, and they stay open.Anyway, I'd highly recommend this book, if only for the music.

Product Description:
Complex, surprising pieces by a brilliant, underrated Russian 20th-century Romantic whose music, though similar to that of his friend Rachmaninoff, is more cerebral and harmonically adventurous. These 34 "fairy tales" for piano highlight the composer's gift for musical storytelling, with their intense polyrhythms, intricate textures, and complex harmonic development.
