Review
This book is a compilation of the front matter (thematic indexes, prefaces, notes on interpretation and so on) from the Vienna Urtext Edition's catalog. Written by various editors of piano solo and duet publications, the guide encompasses much of the standard iano repertoire from J.S. Bach to Paul Hindemith. The publisher has been long recognized as one of Europe's finest; in part it is the high quality of the notes on performance and interpretation that distinguishes Vienna Urtext editions from other scholarly texts.
This economical resource can be used to supplement any good edition...a winner... -- American Music Teacher Magazine
