Parade is a rather unconventional ballet with music by Erik Satie. I'm very glad to have found this score as I never imagined I would be able to purchase Satie's Parade in notated form at such a reasonable price.

Some Details:

This score is essentially a republication of the edition published by Salabert, Paris, in 1917, with some added introductory material.

The introductory material for this Dover edition includes:

- Table of Contents (English and French)

- A list of instrumentation (English and French) & the abbreviations used

- A glossary of the French terms used in the score

- Introductory notes by Victor Rangel-Ribeiro

- A note by Georges Auric (translated from the original Salabert publication)

I haven't found many errors but one very obvious typo struck me when I opened page 12 and 13. Both are missing the vertical line at the left hand side that joins the staves together to make a system, so it looks like there are four systems per page when there should only be one. Other than this, I haven't noticed anything too iffy.

The font is quite interesting with very full note heads. It might be a bit hard to read - sometimes the print is a little blurred, but, seeing as it is a reasonable size, I haven't had any trouble making out what the notes/ expression markings/ etc. should be.
