Note regarding Jesu, Joy above - from Dr. Vaga. . .
The individual sheet of "Jesu Joy" above is rather difficult and awkward, in my opinion, more of an advanced piano arrangement. You must be able to comfortably reach 10ths in the left hand, and have very good control of double-notes in the right hand. If you're looking for an intermediate version of this work, the best arrangement I have found at the intermediate level is in the following collection. Check the contents, and if there are other works that you would enjoy, get this collection as it contains some real gems -- most notably the 18th variation of the Rachmaninoff "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini" -- an otherwise impossible to find piece these days! - RV

Sikorski Edition
Note: Unless you prefer Sikorski, I do not recommend this collection. Sikorski is very uneven in their publications, some of it looks like it was churned out on my Mac. . .- RV
