Hamilton: Easy Piano Selections

Impecable

This songbook is a great gift for yourself or for anyone who plays a little piano and who loves the Hamilton CD-- even if they haven't played much piano since they were a kid (as I hadn't until recently). Even tho it says "Easy" , most of the songs were not very easy for me to play (esp while singing ) AT FIRST but I love the CD/musical so much that I was motivated to practice with these ez versions of Lin Manuel Miranda's brilliant work. And the melodies are so pretty, I CAN make the songs sound recognizable, albeit slower than intended, but they still sound great... which motivates me to practice more to improve. My three favorite songs in this book are -You'll be back -Dear Theodosia -Burn I wish there were more songs included (esp the heart-stopping "Unimaginable" piece ). But I am happy that I bought this book -- it brings back to mind the many great mini-stories within the play and the joy I felt when I finally got to see Hamilton when it came to DC after I obsessively checked the Kennedy Center website each day until I found tickets at a reasonable price (knowing pricey seats sometimes come available at a drop in price a few days before the performance...so if Hamilton is coming to your city , you might try to do the same.) It was worth the price to support the arts/gift tickets to my husband for us to see it for his birthday. Husband wasn't as obsessed w/ it as I, but he did enjoy the soundtrack which I played for him in the car on a long trip. We both agreed it was a fantastic performance at Kennedy Center, a great gift to the world ... ( he even says my piano-playing renditions are "good"(!) (I'm not good, but not as bad as I was when the songbook first arrived. Miranda's chords/melodies are so pleasant, they really do sound good even played poorly/unevenly and at a pace far slower than on the CD and on stage--which is great incentive to practice:)

Ich frage mich zwar immer noch warum amazon.de mir diese Noten für unter vier Euro verkauft hat, will mich aber mit Sicherheit nicht beschweren... Man bekommt genau was man bestellt hat, Easy Piano Noten für Hamilton- ich persönlich habe sie nur als Sammelobjekt gekauft (für den Preis...) und nutze zum Spielen lieber die Vocal Selection (mir gefallen die Arrangements besser), für Anfänger sind die Noten aber gut geeignet und kleine Musical- und Hamiltonfans werden sich sicher gerne motivieren lassen freiwillig zu üben ;)

Great book, with easy piano and words to go along with it. Highly recommend for a Hamilton lover

Great book, some are a little beyond this beginners level but enjoyable nonetheless
