Don't confuse this book with the 'Guide To The Pianist's Repertoire' by Maurice Hinson. It is not nearly as comprehensive.

Excellent reference covering a vast piano literature
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This book is an excellent reference for pianists and music lovers alike. It covers a vast amount of piano literature, essentially all classical and modern piano music heard today and also lots of music little heard. For each piece, organized by composer and period, a short review is presented, intended to give the reader an idea of the piece's artistic value, technical difficulty, etc. Although only to be used as a general guideline, these comments are valuable. Well worth the money!
