Dissapointed, December 31, 2005
This review is from: Pelleas et Melisande, Op. 80, and Pavane, Op. 50, In Full Score (Paperback)
Two of my favorite orchestral pieces by Faure and they had to be ruined by J. Hamelle & Cie., Paris, n.d. There are so many errors were found in Pelleas et Melisande that I've been trying to edit it myself. There are mistaked articulations, errors in the trumpet part, and ther format is very strange. The rehearsal marks change from letters to numbers, the margins differ in size almost every page, and there are large black lines streaking down some pages that make it look like the edition had been badly photo coppied. Since it is a French edition, all my dover scores with Debussy and Ravel and now this one have faded bars, notes, etc. This book was very cheap and it is very small. I love Faure's music and his wonderful orchestration, but I would much rather prefer if it was accurate.
