Published in 2006. There are scratches and stains, but it does not affect reading. I wiped the cover with an alcohol sheet, but there are some scratches and stains that won't come off. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about the condition, as this is a used item. It will be shipped via Yu-Packet Post. Due to a shortage of packaging materials, it will be wrapped in a supermarket plastic bag and then placed in a paper bag for shipping. Please be aware of this. #Nodame #NodameCantabile #Streseman #Classic #Mongoose #MonthlyPiano #YamahaMusicMedia #HeiseiRetro #PianoSonataNo18inCMinorOp13 #ViolinSonataNo5inFMajor #RhapsodyinBlue #PianoConcertoNo2inCMinorOp18 #SymphonyNo7inAMajor1stMovement
