Full Score is what it is. Well printed. I follow the score with the CD and it's right on.

I bought this score to study for an exam. Then when reading the section of the "Russian Dance," I heard the orchestration much richer and transparent from the recording than it is on the score. It turns out that there is a revised version of this work by Stravinsky himself in 1947. I listened to couple recordings on Naxos music library and pretty sure that most of the recordings play the revised version published by Bossey & Hawkes Petrouchka: Score (Boosey & Hawkes Masterworks Library). The instrumentation of the revised version is smaller and its orchestration has lots more details, such as articulations and economic uses of the textures. The revised version has different rehearsal numbers and extra arrangement for the ending. Just be careful about which version you are looking for.

I absolutely loved this music book! I already own many of Stravinsky's other scores, so this was a long-overdue addition to my collection. I was very impressed with the speedy delivery time and was pleasantly surprised by the handwritten note from the seller thanking me for the purchase and the importance of buyer feedback. I had never seen this gesture of good faith from a seller before. I have already begun to dissect every single line of Stravinsky's music score; thus the life of a music major.

Note to all Amazon customers: buy from this seller!

About this great composer of twenty century, and your magnificent work, only i can say thank you, Mr. Igor Stravinsky for you born; is your music an inspiration for all composers on the world.

To feel powerful type music of this type to go naked into wooded mountain slopes without any pudding. This is to run with the birds!! I feel this music rubs into the soul with woodchips and cedar branches. tenthousand times I listen to this while my sister howl out loud and the tenthousandth time I also howl. The spirit of spiders is in my palm and I run it through my hair and straighten my lapel while performing an awkward little dance step. If read music is music read then red music is music red but I see red when otto take away my music. You try listening to this music without no music! Not easy eh? sometime soul cry out for release and this is like that without any of the other or maybe a little bit but not a whole lot of the other and then you body go this is very good and you mind think this is very good and you soul know too that this is very good and you move your feet and walk to otto's house and go THIS IS VERY GOOD! again I say this is very good.i go now.
