This Dover edition reprints the 1941 C.F. Peters full score of "Cosi" edited by Georg Schuenemann and Kurt Soldan, in a large clear format. The score itself is beautifully engraved and Dover has helpfully translated the editors' commentary at the end of the score, which notes deviations from Mozart's autograph and supplements from other early ms. sources. There is also a running German translation of the words to the opera along with the original Italian (the German is probably immaterial to most users today, but given the original publication date and origin of the edition, it is quite understandable why it was included by the editors). Anyone who loves this opera will undoubtedly find this a valuable and useful score to have.

Excellent score, very readable, lay-flat binding, libretto in Italian and German. Everything you need to read along with your favorite COSI CD or DVD.

Bought is in context of lecturing about this fabulous opera. Arrived in Israel within 10 days, about 1 week earlier than estimated. That was useful! Bcore is generally beautiful, don't like the German above the Italian, after all, the original is the Italian. besides, felt a little weird to read the scholarly forword, signed: Berlin 1942. Hummm, wish it was produced another place, another time. But wolfgang, dear wolfgang, i'll love you forever.
