CONTAINS AN OFFENSIVE RACIST TITLE
The offensive title is the gollywogg's cakewalk from Debussy's Children's Corner. I know the piece exists but did it have to be in this book? This is a fairly recently printed collection. Maybe replace it with another black composer's work? Scott Joplin wasn't the only one. How could anyone think this is ok in 2021? And why, when this kind of language is no longer found in children's books for example, is it still ok in classical music? It is not ok. Why did it take over 100 reviews before it was even mentioned?Now the title is in the drop down menu of contents but I wasn't looking for it and I didn't see. If I had I wouldn't have bought this in the first place and it was a massive shock when I first looked through it. This was actually bought for my son and neither of us think this is ok, nor do we want it in the house.It's a bad book for lots of reasons, most of them mentioned in other reviews. There are plenty of popular classics in this book but I will be buying them separately in a better format without the added racist content.I did complain to Amazon and they thanked me for bringing it to their attention (this is an Amazon publication). Nothing else happened.
