San Diego (CA): Kjos Music Company, 2002. — 108 p.
Quiet Classics, selected and edited by Keith Snell. Selections are arranged into "sets" of approximately twenty-five minutes in length.
"Beautiful music appropriate for: church services, weddings, elegant receptions and parties, restaurants and any situation where gentle, background classical music is needed."From amazon.com: A very useful book. Most of the pieces are in their original, complete form. A couple are abridged slightly. They are arranged in 4 sets that can be played one after the other. Great for a background setting, but also very enjoyable to play. Pieces are advanced intermediate to early advanced. Most are familiar, favorite classics...
