The Philip Wesley Solo Piano Collection, Volume 1 is a compilation sheet music book with selections from four of Wesley’s recordings. There are three pieces each from Finding Solace and In a Lifetime, two from Comfort and Joy, and four from Dark Night of the Soul. The book is spiral bound and printed on a bright white, medium-weight paper stock with full-color covers front and back. Some of the phrasing is marked and some is not. Metronome settings and pedaling suggestions are included, as is Philip’s bio and discography. The book has been transcribed to be as close to the recordings as possible, and the notation is clear and easy to read. Most of these pieces are at an upper-intermediate to early-advanced playing level, so more advanced pianists should be able to just sit down and play most of this music. It’s a very enjoyable collection to play through, and I can easily recommend it. Philip Wesley’s sheet music and songbooks are currently available only from his website. Songbooks are in printed form or as a PDF download. The pieces are also available singly in download form.
