I must admit that now, with music available to order at the click of a mouse, it must be harder to resist the temptation to buy yet another piece/book.

As well as their practical function, I also like some of the books as a bit of furniture. The Henle hardbacks are absolutely gorgeous (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I like pulling a random book from the shelf for sight-reading practice too. Often I end up having an aneurism when I hit something with tonnes of double flats and the like but force myself to go through it (they terrify me, although double sharps are never a problem!)...

There's already exist threads and a poll on which are preferred, sharps or flats. For me, flats - bring 'em on.. With sharps, I start to forget the extra ones after 5 of them (although I suppose that still gives me some scope). I was playing through Mallorca by Albeniz; the central section has 6 sharps (F#major) and I keep forgetting whether the 'extra' sharp is B# or E# - it's the latter, but midway through the melody it doesn't pay to have doubts!

I prefer flats too, but I just don't like double ones! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) How odd...

It's the sharps that deter me from tackling Chopin's Barcarolle. Again, F#major (although fsharpminor might have transposed it by now!). I love the piece to bits, but the sharps and double sharps - ouch!!
