Solid Solo Arrangements for Events
As a gigging musician, I found this 'West Side Story' piano solo collection by Carol Klose to be quite reliable. The intermediate arrangements are well-written and capture the essence of the songs effectively. While it's a solo book, the harmonies are rich enough that you don't always miss explicit chord symbols. Great for background music or feature solos at events; definitely worth keeping in your repertoire for requests.

So Much Fun to Play My Favorites!
I'm absolutely thrilled with this West Side Story collection! As an adult learner, the intermediate level is perfect—challenging enough to feel accomplished but not overwhelming. Playing these timeless songs by Bernstein and Sondheim, like 'Maria' and 'Tonight,' is incredibly satisfying and relaxing. The arrangements make me feel like I'm truly sounding like the record. A fantastic purchase for any Broadway fan!

Valuable for Vocal Study and Accompaniment Insight
Although listed as 'Piano Solo,' this West Side Story collection serves as a wonderful resource for vocal coaches. Carol Klose's arrangements brilliantly integrate the vocal lines within the piano texture, offering deep insight into Bernstein's harmonies and voice-leading. It’s excellent for analyzing melodic contours and informing an authentic accompaniment style, even if you're not using it as a direct accompaniment book. A highly educational and inspiring edition.

Not very satisfying
Easy, but cheesy arrangements, not very satisfying. In fact I'm tempted to throw it out. I got re- intersted in West Side Story after hearing a symphony orchestra performance of the Symphonic Dances -- absolutely beautiful, but these arrangements don't do the music justice. I have ordered a vocal edition that is said to be truer to Bernstein's own arrangements, and hope it will be suitable for solo piano
