Great collection

Posted by Bryan on 16th Aug 2018

This collection is fantastic and a book that I use daily. Everyone knows the Rochut books, but this version lays out the Bordogni in a very easy to read and clean setting. Mulcahy's commentary only improves on things. I should have bought it sooner!

by far the best

Posted by GW on 25th May 2018

This is the way the Melodious Etudes book should have been done in the first place. It is in a class by itself. Simply the best.

Mulcahy edition of Melodious Etudes

Posted by Matt Hodgson on 3rd Sep 2015

Great edition, very clear and I like the interpretive spin on some of the etudes provided side-by-side with the original. Fantastic to have all three volumes combined into a single offering, and spiral bound for ease of use and longevity!

ditto

Posted by Craig Hawley on 28th Feb 2013

ditto. It is the best. The tenor and alto clefs don't appear until the more difficult etudes. They maybe could have put in a few tenor clef etudes sooner or included one or two etudes twice, once in tenor clef. But, nothing comes close to this book.

The best

I agree with the other reviewers, this is by far the best Bordogni book.

Visually Splendid

Your editors have done a marvelous job. I now use this edition in my own playing and require its use among the members of my studio. Thank you so much for all your work in bringing these fine new editions out for us to enjoy and use in our teaching.

This is by far the best edition of the Bordogni Melodious Etudes. It has all 120 songs, including the REAL number 1. Beautiful.
