This review is from: Symphonies Nos. 1 and 2 in Full Score (Dover Music Scores) (Paperback)
Among the things I look for in a score is the readability of the music itself. The larger the better, though smaller print is acceptable in most classical and earlier pieces and a few Romantic pieces. Not so in Mahler's gigantic symphonies. I feel that the score should be the full size of some of scores of his later symphonies (Dover). There were times where I had to squint or look twice to see the score properly.That is my only problem with the score. These are two wonderful works and, unlike other composers, Mahler isn't beginning but nearing the peak of his symphonic powers with these "early" works.

This review is from: Symphonies Nos. 1 and 2 in Full Score (Dover Music Scores) (Paperback)
There is nothing special about the Mahler score in particular, aside for the fact that it is a masterpiece like all of Mahler's works. I discovered Dover Orchestral Scores when in college years ago. The were new to the market back then, but they provided a better alternative to those expensive mini-scores we were forced to use. For students learning about composers and their styles, learning and practicing conducting, and even for individual players trying to learn how their part fits in with the entire orchestra, Dover has consistently delivered a quality product at a price every music students can afford. The print is large, clear and accurate, and easy to read, just right to go on a music stand allowing you to play along

This review is from: Symphonies Nos. 1 and 2 in Full Score (Dover Music Scores) (Paperback)
Good price on scores, readable and fairly well laid out on the page. It still doesn't quite lay flat like advertised, but I've never known a book that could lay completely flat.
