Choosing sheet music is not simply a matter of finding a piano title: the right pick depends on who will play, whether you need solo or ensemble material, and how much condition matters for your intended use. This group ranges from a Beethoven piano-trio set to Liszt solo repertoire, simplified piano-organ hymns, and a vintage 1967 piano work.
Quick take
For advanced classical ensemble playing, the Beethoven volume is the clear fit because it includes a full piano score and separate violin and violoncello parts. The Liszt score suits a pianist seeking two named classical solo works in Like New condition. Choose the W. Elmo Mercer collection when the goal is a piano-organ devotional duet with 11 hymns. Henri Noël's *Pantomine* is the focused choice for an intermediate player interested in a single 1967 musical piano piece.
The listed price range runs from USD 5.50 to USD 15.00, with condition and instrumentation creating more meaningful distinctions than price alone.

Decision matrix
- You have a pianist, violinist, and cellist ready to play: Select Beethoven's *Piano Trios Vol. II*. Its named instrumentation and included separate parts make it the ensemble-specific option.
- You want a classical piano-solo score with two substantial named pieces: Pick Liszt's *Two Legends / Zwei Legenden*.
- You need piano and organ together for devotional repertoire: The Mercer hymn collection is the direct match, with simplified arrangements and 11 selections.
- You want one vintage piano composition rather than a multi-piece collection: Choose *Pantomine #9759*, identified as a 1967 Henri Noël work for intermediate players.
- Physical condition is central to the decision: The Liszt score is listed Like New, while the hymn collection is listed Acceptable and has a detached center section that remains included.
Product notes
Ludwig van Beethoven - Piano Trios Vol. II (Klavier-Trios Band 2) - Henle Urtext
This is the strongest match for an advanced chamber group seeking Beethoven's Op. 70 Nos. 1 and 2, including the "Ghost," Op. 97 "Archduke," and Op. 121a. It brings together a full piano score with separate violin and violoncello parts, so the materials are organized around actual trio playing rather than a solo arrangement. The Urtext edition is edited by Günter Raphael and presented as a softcover score with inserted parts. Its limitation is equally clear: the stated instrumentation requires piano, violin, and cello, making it oriented to a three-player setup rather than an individual pianist's solo repertoire.
Franz Liszt - Two Legends / Zwei Legenden (Urtext) - Henle Verlag HN 770 Score
Choose this Henle Verlag HN 770 score for a piano-solo program centered on Liszt's two *Legends*: *St. François d'Assise La prédication aux oiseaux* and *St. François de Paule marchant sur les flots*. The Like New condition is a practical draw for players who prefer an unmarked, crisp score, and the Urtext format keeps the selection focused on the two named works. It is listed for Beginner experience level and is strictly for piano. The tradeoff is its narrow scope: this is a two-piece solo score, not a varied anthology or a set with ensemble parts.
ELEVEN HYMNS WORTH REMEMBERING PIANO/ORGAN DUET Sheet music Arr. W. Elmo Mercer
For a piano-and-organ pairing, this W. Elmo Mercer collection offers 11 simplified religious and devotional hymn arrangements across 47 pages. Its intended uses include preludes, offertories, and postludes, while the description also allows accomplished musicians to add to or improvise on the written arrangements. That flexibility makes it a purposeful pick for musicians who want a duet collection rather than a solo piano volume. The limitation is condition: it is listed Acceptable, with cover discoloration and pages 23 through 26 detached from the center of the book, though those pages are included and undamaged.
Pantomine #9759 Henri Noel J Fischer & Bro 1967 Piano Sheet #Music
Pick *Pantomine #9759* when a single vintage piano sheet is more appealing than a book of multiple works. Composed by Henri Noël and published by J. Fischer & Bro, this 1967 piece is listed in the Musicals genre for intermediate piano players. Its focused format can suit someone building a small collection of mid-20th-century piano music or looking for one distinct work to explore. The listed condition is Good, which supports use as pre-owned sheet music, but there is a piece of tape at the top. That visible condition detail makes it less suited to a shopper prioritizing a Like New score.
Final recommendation by use case
Choose Beethoven's Piano Trios Vol. II for advanced classical chamber music with piano, violin, and cello. Choose Liszt's Two Legends for a clean-looking classical piano-solo score built around two named works. Choose Eleven Hymns Worth Remembering for simplified devotional piano-organ duet playing. Choose Pantomine #9759 for an intermediate-level, 1967 musical piano piece with a vintage focus.
