Choosing sheet music is not just a question of genre: the right pick depends on whether you need piano-only material or piano/vocal/guitar arrangements, a broad song collection or artist-specific repertoire, and a book ready for regular handling versus one suited to repair or loose-sheet use. These four choices span a $140.08 listed-price range, with distinct Broadway, classical, Bryan Ferry/Roxy Music, and The Who focuses.

Decision matrix
- Choose a Broadway-focused piano collection: 32 More Hits from Broadway is identified for intermediate players and combines piano, words, and chord names. Its musical and cabaret/vaudeville emphasis makes it a focused match rather than an all-genre book.
- Choose a classical piano lot: The Scribner pair is the only listed option centered on classical music and includes two vintage books for intermediate piano playing.
- Choose a piano/vocal/guitar rock book: Street Life and The Who Anthology both use piano/vocal/guitar arrangements. Street Life is the choice for Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music material with intact glue binding; The Who Anthology is the option for The Who repertoire if rebinding or loose-sheet use works for you.
- Put physical condition first: The Broadway title is Like New, the Scribner lot is Very Good, Street Life is Good, and The Who Anthology is Acceptable with a stated binding issue.
Product notes
Bryan Ferry Roxy Music Street Life 20 Great Hits Sheet Music Songbook - P/V/G
At USD 149.95, Street Life is the targeted choice for a pianist, singer, or guitarist who specifically wants a Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music greatest-hits collection. The arrangements are for piano/vocal/guitar, and its glue binding is intact; the description also identifies no tears or markings. That combination makes it a more straightforward bound-book option than a collection intended to be used as loose sheets. Its limitation is its Good condition, which includes light cover scuffing and bumped edges, alongside the highest listed price here. Pick Street Life when the artist-specific repertoire and P/V/G format matter more than having a broad genre anthology.
32 More Hits from Broadway piano words chord names sheet music songbook
At USD 9.99, 32 More Hits from Broadway makes sense for an intermediate pianist building a musical-theater repertoire. It is a collection/song book with piano, words, and chord names, and the song list includes titles such as *I Believe in You*, *Brotherhood of Man*, and *Give Me a Song*. The Like New condition is another practical advantage for a book intended for frequent page use. The tradeoff is focus: its genre is Musicals, with Cabaret/Vaudeville listed as a subgenre, so it is best matched to show tunes rather than a player seeking classical pieces or rock arrangements.
Lot of 2 Vintage Scribner Classical Sheet Music Books Piano 1931, 1946
At USD 12.35, this Scribner lot is the appropriate route for an intermediate pianist who wants classical music in a two-book vintage set. The listing identifies lots of classical music to play, and the Very Good condition places it above the Good and Acceptable books in this comparison. It also offers a different kind of selection from the artist anthologies: two books rather than one named hit collection. The limitation is visible in the stated wear on the outer edges, so this is a better fit for readers drawn to its classical piano content and vintage format than for someone prioritizing a near-pristine cover.
The Who Anthology Piano Vocal Guitar Sheet Music Book Classic Rock Hal Leonard
At USD 9.87, The Who Anthology is the direct choice for a player who wants The Who material arranged for piano, guitar, and vocal. It contains 208 pages with none missing, and it can work either after rebinding or as loose sheet music. That makes it especially relevant if the repertoire matters more than having an intact book structure. The major limitation is clear: it is in Acceptable condition and has split into three segments. Choose this anthology for its classic-rock P/V/G focus only when you are comfortable using repaired or separated pages.
Final recommendation by use case
Choose 32 More Hits from Broadway for intermediate piano-based musical repertoire in Like New condition. Choose the Vintage Scribner Classical lot for two classical piano books with stated outer-edge wear. For rock arrangements, select Street Life when Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music plus intact glue binding are priorities. Select The Who Anthology when The Who repertoire and complete pages outweigh the need for a fully intact binding.
