The Waltz Book 1
Composer: Bill Matthiesen

Many musicians have praised the wonderful tune selection ("finally -- a music book where I enjoy almost every single tune!"); the clear notation, easy for several musicians to read off the same book, with no page turns; chord symbols, so backup musicians can play off the music; and the heavy-duty metal spiral binding, which wont bend or break in your music bag. Beginning and closet musicians have found the tunes inspiring -- slower and easier than jigs and reels, and very rewarding for the time and effort invested. Selections Include: April Waltz, Ashokan Farewell, Enrichez Vous, Far Away, Gentle Maiden, Great Waltz of China, High Clouds, Judy and Jims Wedding, Midnight on the Water, Nancys Waltz, Sheebeg and Sheemore, Sweet Journeys, Tosa-Valsen, Utpick Waltz, and Valse des Jouets, plus a special section on creating your own piano accompaniment from chord symbols & melody line and notes for melody players on how to harmonize waltzes.

Excellent classic.

I was surprised to see other reviews so low. I've been using this book (and to some extent, the second and third, although I don't recommend those as strongly) for eight years, and I love it. It has a great mix of classic North American and Anglo-Celtic waltzes, with newer and original pieces thrown in. I often use this book in my fiddle teaching and performing.

Waltz book 1

This is a good book for beginners and more advanced players. It shows the chords for piano,too.

Book is small

I was glad to see that The Waltz Book came with spiral binding which makes it so much easier to use. However, it is not standard size but smaller by 1/3, so that makes it harder to read.
