Bach: The Ultimate Piano Collection | Schirmer Library of Classics Volume 2102 | Piano Book with Complete Inventions, Sinfonias, Suites, Variations ... Library of Musical Classics, 2102) Review: Good value, especially as a casual reference. - As with all the recent Schirmer's printings, the beams are too thick (possibly from over-zealous OCR correction), resulting in the beams for 32nd notes appearing almost as a single blob. Ugly, but still readable. Love the comb binding. These seem to be reprints of virtually all of what Schirmer's has of Bach combined into a single huge volume. I noticed a few places where the bars were really squashed and could be difficult to sight read. For performance use, it's not the best, and it's far too bulky. But it's cheap. And (with a spreader to pull open the comb) you can remove selections and create your own little custom volume to play. Most of the works contain fingering suggestions. The Goldberg Variations do not. Handy reference if you're a prog rock player and want to steal some Bach for your guitar or keyboard solo. I plan to use it mostly as a solution manual for transcription practice. Review: I like the fact that it has all the Johann Sebastian ... - I just received the giant book. I like the fact that it has all the Johann Sebastian Bach music on it. On the other hand, it's difficult to put it on the music rest while playing the music on the first and last few pages. There's no issue while playing the music that are in the middle pages of the book. Like another reviewer says, it would have been better to divide the book into 2 volumes, but it's not a big problem for now. One of the main reasons I like Shimmer book is because the music are exactly like the original the composers wrote them, except that the printing is better. The crescendo, the pianissimo, and the multi forte's are all there on the music sheet. On some other books, you only have the notes and nothing else. And of course, you also have to use your imagination on how those signs used to be played on the composers' time. For example, forte in Johann Sebastian Bach was mezzo forte in Beethoven times, because Johann Sebastian Bach used clavecin to write his music, which was way software than piano. Piano started to exist in Mozart time, but he wasn't able to afford one, so he used the Clavecin that Johann Sebastian Bach used, but he had to use his imagination a little bit. Here are the titles: Sinfonia 1 through 15 Variations 1 through 15 English Suite 1 through 6 with the tone (For example English Suite No 1 In A Major) of the music and the same 7 other titles (Prelude, Allemande, Courante, Sarabande, Bourrée 1, Bourré 2, Gigue) under each of them. So 6x7=42 piano pieces. French Suite 1 through 6 (The same story as above). Partitas 1 through 3 (Same story as above). The Well-Tempered Clavier Book 1 and 2, with probably over 100 duplicate titles on it (Prelude no 1, fugue no 1) Chromatic Fantasy and fugue in D minor. Italian Concerto in F Major. Goldberg Variations with 30 variations and one Aria de Capo. Those are the entire book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #95,333 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #76 in Classical Music (Books) #87 in Opera & Classical Songbooks #361 in Piano Songbooks | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (322) | | Dimensions | 9 x 1.46 x 12 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 1480332755 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1480332751 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 644 pages | | Publication date | May 1, 2015 | | Publisher | G.

Print quality is excellent - large, dark, very sharp. Lots of helpful fingerings, although you may not agree with all of them. Highest recommendation. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/21253007-bach-the-ultimate-piano-collection-schirmer-library-of-classics-volume](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/21253007-bach-the-ultimate-piano-collection-schirmer-library-of-classics-volume) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
