  If you're a mediocre intermediate flutist like me and you want to sound like the inimitable Galway, get this almost all inclusive songbook. (Emphasis on the sound LIKE, because nobody can reproduce his beautiful tone.) A few notable pieces are missing I would've

  Great pieces for a recital or other performance.

  I was thrilled to find transcriptions of some of the pieces that were missing from my library. However, I had wrongly assumed that piano accompaniments were included; the book is fairly useless without them and there is no accompaniment book available.As an avid fan of Sir

  The arrangements in the book seem to be fabulous. However, the book does not include the piano accompaniments and does not tell you where you can purchase them. I still have not been able to find them.

  There is not an accompaniment part that goes with this. It is claimed to be solo flute music, but has large gaps of rests in almost every song, which indicates there should be an accompaniment part. I searched high/low and it appears James Galway and Hal Leonard thought it

  Thought I was getting a transcription of the recorded flute and piano music. I needed Ashokan Farewell. I’m out of luck.

  This is, of course, the flute score relating to 'The very best of James Galway' CD. Unfortunately there is no music for an accompanist so you either play alone (tapping your foot through the long rests), play along with the CD or seek out a piano part for the pieces you choose. Scores three stars for its interest to flautists and its clear presentation but loses two stars for limited playability.

  Includes a variety of Classical and Pop pieces, from intermediate level to advanced. Extremely enjoyable to play, nice to use as a break from flute practice!

  Che dire di una raccolta di bellissimi brani magnificamente arrangiati da J. Galway se non che è il meglio che si possa desiderare. Tra l'altro gli spartiti sono ben scritti, chiari, leggibilissimi, con molte indicazioni esecutive. Quello che manca, purtroppo, è l'accompagnamento. Non quello orchestrale, certo impossibile, ma almeno quello per pianoforte. O forse esiste, ma nel volume non c'è alcuna indicazione in proposito ed online non sono (ancora) riuscito a trovarlo.
