5.0 out of 5 stars A marvelous bargain, after some cutting and pasting..., June 2, 2001

This review is from: Symphony No. 2 In E Minor, Op. 27, in Full Score (Dover Music Scores) (Paperback)
The full score of Rachmaninoff's most popular symphony is a wonderful bargain at Dover's price. (The competing version by Boosey & Hawkes is more than twice as expensive, and hard to find outside of music stores, unlike the popular Dover series.) A problem: a production error resulted in the reprinting of the music on page 73 on page 78; the solution, photocopy page 110 (whose 8 bars are identical to the missing page) and paste it over page 78. Dover has been alerted by me about this error, but apparently errant copies are still in circulation. Also, be alerted that many recordings of this symphony make significant cuts in the music, especially in the outer movements, so be alert if you are using this to follow a recording!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reprint of a good edition (not the very best however), October 14, 2005

This review is from: Symphony No. 2 In E Minor, Op. 27, in Full Score (Dover Music Scores) (Paperback)
The only quibble I have with this reproduction (and it might be a personal preference) is that I like having all the instrumental abbreviations (i.e., which instruments are meant to be assigned to which staff) explicitely placed alongside each system for those staffs which are used (even if it's most or all of the players that are called-for overall that have to play on a given system). Without those being in place, it can be difficult to be certain - for example - where is the 3rd flautist supposed to be playing the fife (piccolo) instead?

Otherwise, more than well worth having - especially at such a price!
