Alot of info here for Music buffs, if you can read music!! I took it for a class I need.
this product was in brand new condition, just as it was said to be and came when it was supposed to.
nice selection of tunes A little pricey, but not surprising considering it’s academic material (not that overpriced school material is acceptable, but it is the norm). The selection of tunes is good and covers quite of a bit of ancient music, with a variety of performances that are all good and carefully chosen. Worth the money, especially for a class – to really understand music you have to hear it.
