Music Score Monster Hunter Shuryo Gakkyoku Shu - Electone Stagea Erect

While one of the weaker soundtracks, every piece is included, and most of the pieces borrowed from past games are included as well. Makes for a long book!

Excellent piano reductions of all the orchestrated versions. I wish they had included the small 2-3 measure transitions between tracks, but tiny nitpick. Binding is less than ideal, but the music is great.

The book is pretty good. My main grip with it is the binding, it does not easily stays open on the music stand, you have to sort of force it to be open until it gives. The transcriptions, as far as I can tell, are great. Print quality is good. There are some interesting commentary from the original performer, it is all in Japanese but I was able to read it with the help of my phone.

A nice variety of songs from series 1 through series 3. The jazz and swing rhythms are transcribed relatively well. All of the songs are completely recognizable and around half are slower songs with some fun "improv" sections while others are more high energy and require a lot more jumping around the keyboard. Last two songs in the book are duet arrangements.

It arrived in good condition, and without any aesthetic details, I will buy again as soon as I can
