Customer Reviews

Thus far the best published sheet music collection

I have several books of Tori Amos music, but I bought this for some of the harder to find pieces. Overall, this is my favorite book and the one I play out of the most. I have played piano for a few years but am not very skilled - however I can work my way through most of the music. Some of the songs require more work (Caught a Lite Sneeze, Space Dog) and some like Mother, Putting the Damage On and Winter are pretty easy. I play several instruments and have been able to adapt the music easily to guitar and flute. The only thing I haven't really liked is that since Tori Amos supposedly never writes down music, this doesn't translate to printed versions of audio recording. However, I have seen her live many times and every time each song changes, so a written version of any song is given to improvisation.

this is a must have

for all you Tori fans out there, this is an excellent compilation of some (not all, unfortunately) of her best songs, most notably "Silent All These Years," "Precious Things," and "Winter." the songs show her development as a singer/songwriter, and while they are somewhat toned down, (especially "Cornflake girl"), it is still a great book for people who want to add to their collection of Tori Amos sheet music.

Good Overview of Tori's Music

I got this as a gift and was thrilled. The songs included are Silent All These Years, Happy Phantom, Mother, Precious Things, Winter, Cornflake Girl, Baker Baker, The Waitress, Past the Mission, Space Dog, Caught a Lite Sneeze, Professional Widow, Father Lucifer, Hey Jupiter, Putting the Damage On, Floating City, Etienne, Sweet Dreams, Take to the Sky, Honey, Mary, Baltimore, Rubies and Gold, Spark, and Northern Lad. An excellent compilation. Even for the player with very little experience, many of the songs are well within reach, notably Take to the Sky, Professional Widow, Putting the Damage On, and Silent All These Years. A great place to start with Tori sheet-music. Well transcribed with the possible exception of Cornflake Girl's rhythms, but this is easily corrected with the trained ear. Buy it! =)

the creme of the crop

Her best book yet,it has all the songs you know and love,plus a couple of nice surprises. This book only proves the obvious,that TORI AMOS IS,the master of her craft.

i love this book

this is the best book you could buy as long as you can read and play paino music. it has songs from the albums little earthquakes under the pink boys for pele and from the choirgirl hotel it also has music from the rarefied y kant tori read album. If you cant read and play piano music than the book is preaty much useless to you except for the small amount of pictures and lyrics to the songs
