Accidental Etudes is the companion sheet music book to Milana’s 2014 recording by the same name. The book contains thirteen of the eighteen tracks from the album plus a bonus score, “Moonlight Stroll,” a piece that has not yet been released on an album. All of the scores were transcribed by Milana and her husband; then I proofed and edited them. The book has beautiful full-color covers on the front and back. The book is not spiral bound, but should be fairly easy to break in. Milana rated each of the pieces on a scale of 1-3 levels of difficulty (1 is easiest) and categorized each piece’s genre (“soft rock,” “neo-classical trance,” etc.). I wouldn’t call of the pieces easy (elementary), but they are not overly advanced either. Most pianists at an early-advanced playing level should be able to master this music with some practice, and several of the pieces are easier than that. The layout of each piece is roomy and easy-to-read, printed on bright white paper stock. Dynamics are clearly marked and metronome settings are included. This is a beautiful book that will give Milana’s pianistic fans many hours of enjoyment! It is available in printed book form from Amazon and Milana’s site or for download from
