Summary: FUN!
Comment: This book is a great pleasure. As a piano teacher, I've found that it provides fun for my young students. They can thumb through it and play page after page of marvelous classical melodies, incorporating their own chords. That's a great introduction to classical pieces which stimulates their interest in the original versions.
Some pianists may turn up their noses at the idea of a classsical fake book, but I'd point out that many of these pieces were originally written for orchestra, or--in the case of the older ones--for harpsichord, clavichord, organ, and so on. Some are taken from operas. Indeed, many of the classical works we use with our students are arrangements rather than ur-texts.
My students and I often laugh at the term "fake book"; especially for the keyboard players, these books would be more accurately named "creative books." The performer is called upon to provide his/her own harmony arrangements and rhythmic patterns. For talented musicians, "fake books" are a great opportunity for creative expression. That said, it must also be emphasized that students must have a strong foundation in piano basics, and that the teaching of ur-texts is vital for any student.
We love the "Classical Fake Book"---a hoot and a half! Highly recommended.

Summary: very useful and versatile book... and fun!
Comment: Our staff and I accompany ballet and modern dance classes for a university dance program and area ballet schools. This book is perfect for this kind of work. You can easily adapt most pieces to fit whatever the class is doing, giving them recognizable melodies but with an accompaniment (your own realization/improvisation) that supports the movement they are doing.
