Amazon.com Review
Der Fliegende Hollander (The Flying Dutchman) was Richard Wagner's first big success, following his promising but less-than-hit compositions, Die Feen (The Fairies) and Rienzi. Today, many still find Dutchman the most accessible of Wagner's works, and a good choice for the neophyte. You can follow the score and see how Wagner achieved his orchestral effects--like the tense, stormy music of the Dutchman's crew--with this full score from Dover. A full score is more fun for the armchair conductor, and more useful for the student, but they're not as good a deal for working singers who just need the vocal lines and piano accompaniment. Dover Scores are reprints of out-of-copyright editions from other publishers, and sometimes contain errors that have been corrected in more recent versions, but they're still the biggest bargain going in printed music.

Flying Dutchman Score,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Flying Dutchman in Full Score (Paperback)
Dover's facsimile of the 1896 Fürstner edition is excellently reproduced, with admirably clear musical notation (as one would expect from a late 19th-century Berlin specialist musical publisher) and only a couple of misprints, which in a score of this scale is remarkable. For home- or student-study this edition can be warmly recommended. German-speakers (or, like this reviewer, Anglo-German) may find the interstitial Italian libretto an irritation. But at this price, who can complain, especially as it has a sewn spine, which will bear re-covering in hardback long after the cover has become worn.

Good,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Flying Dutchman in Full Score (Paperback)
Very clearly written music. Well labled, page numbers listed so it makes parts of the opera easy to find. Fair size print. Only issue is that the book is so tall that the book doesnt fit the height of the shelves on by book shelf lol. As this product description says "Dover Scores are reprints of out-of-copyright editions from other publishers, and sometimes contain errors that have been corrected in more recent versions". I don't know this opera well enough yet to be able tell if there are any errors in this score, but this is a fair price for a good quality printing of the score. I do recommed it :)

The Power of the Sea... On paper!,
By Marko Vuorsalo "m_vuorsalo" (Turku, Finland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Flying Dutchman in Full Score (Paperback)
From the very first D Major chord of the overture, to the final D of the third act, this score shows you excactly what happens!
The Horns' and Bassoons' "Dutchman" theme, sounding so wonderful, looks just as wonderful in this excellent score, with big type, and clear noteheads, easy to discern. I especially love the clarity of the Introduction and Chorus, of the first and third acts. The low beginning notes of the Dutchman's Aria in act 1... E-sharp? Cool! Never expected to see that! Now, with the notes, being a bass-baritone, I can sing along with the entire Dutchman's part... (Not really well, being untrained, but... The passion is there...) "Wann alle todten aufersteh'n, dann werde ich in nichts vergeh'n..." Ih'r welten, endet euren lauf! Ew'ge vernichtung, nimm mich auf!!! Shivers down my spine, everytime I hear it!
