I'm a Kurt Weill fanatic. I know all the songs in this collection and I own the music CD by the same title. Definitely buy the CD if you like Weill. I wanted to be able to play the songs on piano. I'm not thrilled with all of the arrangements in this book because with some of them, the piano music is written more as accompaniment, rather than as providing all the melody for the tunes. In that respect, it's frustrating. I find myself trying to adapt the sheet music while I play so that I can play the melody when it's missing. The vocal line is included, above the piano score, for people who want to sing. So, really, I'd give this a 3 and-a-half star rating for that reason. There's about 10 pages in the front providing some photos and interesting info on the songs and on Weill.
