Customer Reviews

Great music in a very affordable price
Bach's French Suites are probably his best set of Suites (Maybe besides the Harpsichord Partitas). This edition is a complete urtext edition- no editorial suggestions, what so ever (so when it comes to Bach, it means no fingerings, no nothing. Only the notes themselves), and that can be quite refreshing. The book itself is made of good quality- good paper, good binding, and I also like the printing. And of course- the price. Such a low price for an Urtext edition, almost unbelievable (actually, I talked with a sheet music dealer, and he claims that for this price, it's impossible to conduct a real research for the edition. This might be true. But I don't care where does the editor finds his resources from, as long as Konemann keeps on publishing more and more new titles).
