Petrushka (Dover Miniature Scores) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this score because the orchestra I belong to was going to play this piece and thought it'd give me a better understanding of it.This score has a clear description of each tableau and detailed stage directionswhenever the mood or musical theme changes, and has been a great help for me to understand what's happening in this ballet.However, this isan original score and while very helpful as a whole, since my orchestra was playing the revised edidtion, there were many differences between them in instrumentation, sometimes in a number of measures and even time signatures, and sometimes it was very confusing. Although I was glad that I had this score while practicing this piece, I did wish if I'd gotten the revised version.Beware ofthe type of edition you want to read!

The Rite of Spring in Full Score Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For anyone who loves music in general as much as I do, Stravinsky's Rite Of Spring can be, to say the least, a shockingly intense listening experience, full of strangely dissonant polytonal simultaneities, overwhelming rhythmic dephasing, and colorful details and timbristiceffects that take maximum advantage of what a great symphony orchestra hasto offer. This edition of the translated original score allows you a betterunderstanding of this revolutionary musical monsterpiece, with visualcomplement to what your ears couldn't even consider figuring out. Sometimesit's simpler than you would imagine; sometimes it's much, much morecomplex. This work taught me a great deal about music composition &arranging, and the book also allowed me to write a reduction of the"Spring Rounds" for a 7-piece band.

Les Noces in Full Score Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Dover reproduces old editions of masterworks at very economical prices."Les Noces" is a fine example and at an unbelievable price.The format is large, which is welcome, and the text is in both the originalRussian (indispensable), and in French.An English translation is providedseparately, in the introduction.
The volume is more sturdilyconstructed and in a much larger format than the Boosey and Hawkes scoresof Stravinsky pieces; my "Persephone", while it is a beautifuledition, is small, expensive, and falling apart despite careful treatment.

Product Description:
A sort of choreographic cantata depicting Russian peasant nuptials, Les Noces ("The Wedding") was produced by Diaghilev in Paris in 1923. This outstandingly original work broke new musical ground with its compact, concise style, using unusual combinations of instruments with vocal accompaniment rather than a large orchestra. Reproduced from an authoritative score, this handsome, inexpensive volume incorporates new lists of contents and instrumentation; a glossary and preface (with illustrations); a Note on the Translation and Translation of the French Text.
