I needed to buy some music for church this weekend. And to console myself (because it wasn’t really my favourite kind of music), I ordered some old Mozart Allan music too.
- If ordering from Amazon, note that they may not tell you something is for “easy piano”. To avoid receiving insufficient notes, look VERY CAREFULLY at the photo of the book. Hal Leonard seem to put “EASY PIANO” in very small print at the top of the cover. Two of my purchases have had to return to Amazon.
- If ordering from Abe, be very careful to check that what you’re ordering actually IS music, or you’ll get No Notes At All. You didn’t know Mozart Allan produced word-books? Well, actually, I was aware of this. And now I have another one!
- Maybe you have absolutely no interest in where secondhand music came from, but as a point of interest, my Mozart Allan word book came super speedily from Derry, whilst another publication is going to come all the way from Canada. Considering it’s a promotional publication, that’s a fair indication that Mozart Allan advertised pretty widely, isn’t it?!
