Amazon.com Review

Die Entfuehrung aus dem Serail--the Abduction from the Seraglio-- was one of Mozart's first operatic hits, and received performances all over Europe, even if the emperor did think it contained too many notes. Too many tenors is closer to the mark (the male roles include two tenors, one bass, and one character who only speaks), but this singspiel is a bright and bubbly work, endearing in its comic scenes and impressive in its serious moments. This score is one of Dover's reprints of other publishers. That means that it's not the most up-to-date edition available, that the words appear in German only, and that it's not as suitable for singers to use as a plain piano- vocal score would be. But this is a reasonably priced version that gives the student or enthusiast the opportunity to check out just how Mozart achieved that great "Turkish" instrumental color.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grand Opera!, May 2, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Abduction from the Seraglio in Full Score (Paperback)
Mozart's opera that Premiered in Vienna to welcome the Turkish Ambassador, is absolutely beautiful. This score, is the perfect score for the Mozart lover. The score contains a table of contents, and the complete dialog. (The dimensions up in the info. box, is not relly true, it is about the size of the score of La Traviata) The score is pure genius, showing the pure genius of Mozart, and spice given to him to empress audiences today, from the Ouverture, to "Marten Aller Allen" to the geautiful turkish finale "Bassa Selim gethan" pure genius! i was so impressed when i saw the score, that I had to buy a recording the same day I bought the score! Buy this score!

3.0 out of 5 stars Solo lines written in strange clefs, January 29, 2008
By 
This review is from: The Abduction from the Seraglio in Full Score (Paperback)
This score has the soprano parts written in D clef. Yes you heard me right. That means anything above a D that would usually be on the staff is now a ledger line above. Other solo parts are written in various clefs none of which seem to be G or F. It might be fun to follow along when listening to a recording, but learning a part is made harder by the unnecessary amount of ledger notes. Would not recommend this score to anyone hoping to learn a part. Also, the words in this score differ significantly from the Barrenreiter.
