*Personal notes from MandolinBabe upon thumbing thru this book: Many of the pieces have variations or counter melodies-the majority of the pieces with variations having 2 or 3 different variations,the most I found on one piece was 7! Other pieces are for violin,2nd violin,and cello,violin & piano,organ,and pipes. (not altogether on one piece,but say,pairing up different instruments depending on the arrangement) There's a lot of music pieces in this book. It's plastic spiral bound so it lays flat when open. There is also a fair number of pieces that appear to be piano arrangements.
