The Faber Music Ballads Piano Anthology is a timeless collection of some of the greatest rock, pop and soul ballads ever written. Beautifully presented in progressive order, and specially arranged for intermediate piano solo, it features music from David Bowie, Adele, Kate Bush, Elton John, Ed Sheeran, Seal, Coldplay and many, many more.
The Faber Music Piano Anthology series has been created for pianists to enjoy and return to again and again. All the pieces have been expertly arranged for piano solo and are presented in beautiful, sewn-bound books.
“As ever, the 176-page collection arrives wrapped in a classy, high quality thick matt card cover, with a sturdy but (in mine and my students experience) flexible spine that can both stand the test of time and lie flat on the music stand with minimal persuasion."
