Yes, it's a great bargain. BUT, be careful - the Symphonie Fantstique portion of this score is taken from the early Breitkopf plates and is full of errors!

I love this piece! The score is just as great! It's a big print, so it's easy to read and to write in between staff lines and systems. It folds flat really easily and very durable. A must for any music student.

The whole "Fantastic synfonia" is surely a thing all music students tending towards the romantic era should have a look into, having also the charming "Harold.." inside, makes it still better. As all "Dower's" this one is accurate, and contains informative editor's notes on the last pages(at least my score has them), something great to peer into.. Five stars!

This is the first score I bought, and let me tell you, it's a very good one. I played the fourth movement of this symphony with my school's Symphony Orchestra. This full score is a great study tool for composers and conductors alike. Highly recommended.

IT IS A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE TO READ THE BEST OF HECTOR BERLIOZ'S MUSIC. HIS SYMPHONIE FANTASTIQUE AND HAROLD IN ITALY, IN A HANDSOME BOOK (GOOD PRICE, CLEARLY WRITTEN, WITH ALL BERLIOZ'S FOOTNOTES).
IT IS A FAITHFUL EDITION, VERY WELL PRINTED, GOOD PRICE, AND FAST DELIVERED BY AMAZON.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ALL HECTOR BERLIOZ'S FANS.

If you're like me, listening to the Berlioz "Symphonie Fantastique" along with the full orchestral score only adds to your enjoyment and appreciation of this revolutionary masterpiece. This Dover score is both beautifully printed and economical. I really appreciate the fact that the score also includes the obbligato cornet part heard in the 2nd mvt "Un Bal".
Also included is "Harold in Italy".
Highly recommended.
