Pele Songbook

Great Transcription. Probably the best of all the Tori sheet music books for accuracy. It's been discontinued because there is a picture of Tori suckling a piglet in a rocking chair, so if you get your hands on it it's a collector's item now. Treat it well!

wonderful for moderate piano players

i can't tell you how much this has helped my piano skills. or at the very least, my confidence! i was completely amazed when i first bought the book that i was able to play virtually every song in the book without real difficulty.the arrangements seem very true on the piano songs, but on all songs done with harpsichord, half of the notes are missing. i like the fact that the piano part doesn't include the melody line.

A great buy for Tori lovers

To date I think this is one of the best arranged of the Tori piano books. It comes very close to Tori's own work (much better than Little Earthquakes did). If you love this CD you should get this book. It has color photos, lyric sheets, and a great score. I love it!

Explains the Nearly Unexplainable

You know, without this book, no one on the face of the Earth, no matter how talented, would be able to transcribe the main harpischord riff in Professional Widow. This book covers it all, and covers it VERY well. I am not a great pianist, and I never thought that I'd be playing Tori's tunes, but hey! I thought wrong.

The Musical Butterfly Really Rocks!!!

Tori Amos has done it again! Here you will find the piano sheet music (and lyrics) to every song on her bestselling "BOYS FOR PELE" CD. Think classical music is more your style? Even if you don't dig the way Tori rocks, her piano mellodies are so beautiful, they'd even be appropriate for weddings. And they're not that hard to play! I encourage anyone with a piano to purchase this book -- it's a must have!!!
