5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Presentation of Great 20th Century Violin Concertos, December 5, 2000

This review is from: Great Twentieth-Century Violin Concertos in Full Score (Dover Music Scores) (Paperback)

This excellent set of scores, published by Dover, brings Dover's consummate work at a reasonable price. The editors do a marvelous job of staying true to the original text from which their reprints are derived. The print is clear, and the staves are nice and distinct. (The only concern maybe that too much erasing could permanently wipe off the ink on the page.) Instruments are clearly labled and numberings of key pts. in the concerti help a lot. I highly recommend this book to any music enthusiast, and especially to all violinists who are playing, or will play, any of these great violin concerti.
