This book features all of the classic songs by E.Y.

Love it! A. Lampton Love it! Great arrangements and fun to play! Intermediate level. Arrived sooner than projected.. Kubana said The Original Key. It's in the original key. Judy Garland was a mezzo so I was so glad that they printed the music of this beloved movie in its original key.. Excellent Book for any pianist!! I was very pleased to order this book. It has all the songs from the original movie and each song is in its original key. The book also has beautiful pictures from the movie. A must have for any musician that loves the "Wizard of Oz."
