Wonderful Beethoven Score,
By
This review is from: Symphonies Nos. 8 and 9 in Full Score (Dover Music Scores) (Paperback)
Like the other two books in Dover's Beethoven Symphonies set, the score to the Eighth and Ninth are wonderful. The print is large and very readable. The best part is the low price. This is a must for the starving (music) student, teachers, listeners, and professionals alike. I highly reccommend it.

Good for the price, but riddled with errors,
By
This review is from: Symphonies Nos. 8 and 9 in Full Score (Dover Music Scores) (Paperback)
As has been mentioned by other reviewers, this item is cheap, more-or-less convenient to look at size-wise, and durable. If you're casually following the score to Beethoven's last two symphonies, particularly the 8th where there are fewer editorial issues, then it'll do OK. But know that there are plenty of annoyances and errors here, especially in the 9th Symphony. The second bassoon doubling of the basses during the second orchestral pass of the finale's main theme is missing. Instruments aren't identified on every score page, measure numbers are omitted, and archaic soprano clefs (instead of treble clefs) are used for the choral and solo soprano parts. Of course the instrument names, etc., appear in German only, since this is a cheap reprint of a Public Domain 19th Century German edition.
Still, if you can't afford big bucks for something like the recent Del Mar "urtext" edition, this edition will do...

Worth Having,
By
This review is from: Symphonies Nos. 8 and 9 in Full Score (Dover Music Scores) (Paperback)
These scores (as well as those of the other symphonies) are worth having. Serious students of music can take invaluable lessons from Beethoven's knowledge of counterpoint, orchestration, dynamics, melody, harmony, notation, and form. Additionally these are great listening aids, pointing out "Nebenstimmen" ("secondary voices") that might not be noticed at first listen. This way one can learn to enjoy Beethoven (and other music) as many melodies intertwining into a larger fabric.
