Symphony No. 5 in E-Flat Major, Op. 82, in Full Score [Paperback]

Jean Sibelius (Author)

Book Description

Series: Dover Music Scores | Publication Date: March 30, 2001

Distinguished by a simplicity and lucidity that has made it one of Sibelius’ most popular works, the Fifth Symphony, according to Grove's, "is simply in its most characteristic manifestations, unlike any other music." Popular with concert audiences for its rich, deeply stirring score, the work is reprinted here unabridged from the original 1921 full-score edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dover Score of Sibelius 5th Symphony, December 11, 2006

This review is from: Symphony No. 5 in E-Flat Major, Op. 82, in Full Score (Paperback)

Nice score from Dover. There are some minor corrections made in latest Hansen scores (this is a reprint from first Hansen print), so it is recommended to check them out. More of that I wait for new complete edition, the blue one to come out after copyright issues are over in Europe. The new edition of Sibelius 2nd and Kullervo-Symphony already exists and is highly recommended, although very expensive in big format (the study score of 2nd has just come out as well).

This score is very good, very easy to read, and as I hoped, very fun. It is quite nice to be able to follow along with the recording like this, and gives me a true insight into the composer's brilliance. Just as enjoyable as reading a book! I highly recommend this item!
