This music book has a selection of five string quartet classical pieces. Some are more well known while others are more obscure. The first part of the book has the full score for each work; the second half of the book has each song split into its parts. This is where I think the book could be improved. This second lists each song, providing the parts for it separately within the song section. I think this section would have been nicer if it would have been divided by parts, so all of Violin I together, all of Violin II together, etc.
But that’s a minor quibble. The pages look good, with pleasant and easy-to-read fonts and clean “engraving.” If you play in a string quartet, you might find this a good addition to your repertoire.
I received a free digital copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
