(More customer reviews)This review is for Star Wars A Musical Journey Episodes I-IV Instrumental Solos, with CD. I purchased the cello version of this sheet music. This book includes standard piano accompaniment, plus the solo cello music also comes inside the book as a removable insert. The printing quality is excellent.
The CD is well thought-out and organized. The CD musical accompaniment quality is good -- not the terrible midi tones you get with some sheet music. Each song has the recorded "demo" version of the song, then another track with the "play along" version, which is like the "demo" version without the cello.
I deducted one star because the CD failed at track 29. I tried it on three different computers, and could only access the first 28 tracks. I emailed the publisher (Alfred)recently and am waiting to hear back. Even withouth the last few tracks, I was able to access the music for the most popular songs. These included "Star Wars main theme," The Imperial March, and Across the Stars.
++++ Update 6/17/2011 ++++ I recieved an email and a replacement book from Alfred. The CD in the replacement book was flawless. Very good customer service.
I would highly recommend this book.

The arrangements are completely compatible with each other and can be played together or as solos.
