I absolutely love this book! I agree with the other reviews in that only a couple songs (When I Survey, Faith is the Victory) are perfect for church, while the rest only for recitals or concerts. But hey, that's why it's called CONCERT piano solos =) I wish Bob Walters wrote more books than just this one , and one other. His style is perfect - not too showy, but the dynamics are beautiful! This book is for advanced students though.

After reading the other reviews, I thought this book was just what I was looking for. Unfortunately it was far from it. I was very disappointed with these arrangements. They were very bland and uncreative, especially harmonically. Lots and lots of arpeggios, and the standard, unaltered diatonic harmonies of the traditional hymns. I found them very boring and not at an advanced level at all.

Haven't tried it yet, but am looking forward to it after reading the previous reviews. Just curious, what's wrong with playing a showy piece in church?

This is a fantastic book and I agree with the other reviewers. I would only ever play Great Is Thy Faithfulness in church mostly because it is the least showy. Otherwise fantastic book. And for someone who is an Advanced Pianist it's nice to have some music that I can't just sightread and get mostly rig

These are amazing, wonderful, magnifacent, superb, artistic and charming! Can't praise this book enough! The 'When I Survey' arrangement is the best ever! The others are just lovely arrangements that are fresh and creative! Give it a try!

I really enjoyed playing through this book - the first and last pieces especially. All selections in this book are perfect for recitals, concerts, etc. However, I find them a little too showy for church specials. The harmony is brilliant, and once you get used to this particular style, almost everything else seems to fall short. I found it extremely helpful in developing my skill as a pianist. I would reccomend this book for any late intermediate students who enjoy a challenge. You'll find it very rewarding.
