This is generally a good edition. The paper is very smooth making it difficult to turn pages in time. I have to crumple up each page to get enough traction to get them turned. Also the more I use it, some of the pages are beginning to come unbound. Coarser paper and sturdier binding would make this edition more practical for performance and not just as a study score.

�@As same as another Dover�fs scores, this �gMAJOR ORCHESTRAL WORKS�h is reprinted one. The original is THE BREITKOPF & HARTEL version, so you will never be anxiously to use this score. This includes some important works of Mendelssohn, ie �gA Mid-summer Night�fs Dream�h and so on. It has very clear lines and you can look out one or some part easily. So if you have this score, you can enjoy your �ghome concert�h.

It's great to have this full score containing the very best of Mendelssohn's works, but this edition was terrible, (of course reprinted from the Breitkopf and Hartel editions). I really liked that there were all the play cues for the incidental music to A Midsummer Night's Dream, but this book wasn't bound with the immortal glue Dover books are bound with tody. My 406 paged book is in pieces with a bunch of errors in it. This was a waste of $20. I don't know the other editions of Mendelssohn's works, but I don't really like his music that much anyway. At the time I just wanted to have references to the flute solo from the Scherzo.
