Not much in terms of a review to add. I'm just a beginner, and, well, the notes look right :) But I would like to add a list of songs featured, as Amazon has left that out of the description...This book features the songs:
Behind the Waterfall, Courage of the Wind, Cristofori's Dream, Dream Field, Faces of the Forest, Farewell Amparo, Heartsounds, Leaves on the Seine, Nightfall, Song for Monet, Spiral Dance, Summer's Child, Valencia
Lyrical Lanz 5 out of 5 stars.

If you are a pianist, and love David Lanz you will love this book. If you haven't heard Lanz, then listen to a clip from one of his CD's on this site, and be hooked. This book contains songs from four of his CD's, Heartsounds, Cristofori's Dream, Natural States and Nightfall. If you, like me, took piano lessons as a child and can play classical music and written music, but lost the love of the piano and the desire to play, this book is for YOU! When I first heard Lanz's CD Cristofori's Dream, I wished that I could play music like this. I hadn't touched my piano in years because I wasn't enjoying the music I could play. I found "Solos for New Age Piano" and found that I COULD play this music. "Cristofori's Dream" and "Spiral Dance" are lyrical, romantic and very relaxing to play. "Behind the Waterfal" and "Courage of the Wind" are robust and magical, just like the bit of nature they describe.
On first play, some of Lanz's songs seem difficult, but don't give up because the reward of mastering these songs is well worth the effort. I would highly recommend "Solo's for New Age Piano" for any but the beginning piano player.
