The book itself is is what I wanted. After asking for a replacement, the second one had the same thing happen. Not satisfied with the delivery at all.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This Schirmer edition is no letdown
    Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    This edition presents the three pieces clearly, with moderately larger print offering precise finger and hand indications, all on paper heavy enough to hold a slight, uncreased dog-ear for easy page turns. I have had zero problems or disappointments with this sheet music. I would recommend it; that being said, a student with little experience would do well to seek the guidance of a teacher as there are a number techniques that must be combined even beyond the initial reading and play-through.

    I love this work by Satie, and it's simple to play. I will always associate it with The Royal Tenenbaums, but I recently heard it in The Queen's Gambit, and that made me want to order the piece to play.

    Took a little while (several days) to come from Italy, via Belgium. But no prob as it was not urgent, and hardcopy is good for practise on our home piano.
