This is a wonderful song book for someone like me who has been playing for 5 months. There are several classic melodies. Many of these have purposefully simple arrangements, but they can still be challenging. For example, Bonaparte's Retreat is done at about 125 bpm with entire measures at places of 1/8 notes. It was rewritten without the ornaments and double stops, however, to make it easier to play. Shipped the next day 4/18/24
