5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful reprint of an excellent "Cosi" edition, July 9, 2000

By A Customer

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Schirmer needs a new editor., November 9, 2006

By	C. Ortiz "singer" (Tucson, AZ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Cosi fan Tutte, K. 588: Vocal Score (Paperback)

I used this score for a school performance. There were so many errors in it that I ended up learning incorrect words, pitches and note values. It's so aggravating to see one of Mozart's masterpieces with so many errors. Barenreiter is the best. No mistakes. That was our saving grace. If you want accuracy, this score is not for you. If you want a great translation,...seek out the Nico Castel translations.
