1.0 out of 5 stars Why would anyone buy this booklet?, July 9, 2009

By	J. Haubrich (The Netherlands) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Purchasing this book was a waste of money. Any decent bookseller should simply refuse to sell this book: printing quality is terrible, it looks like some original was scanned in low resolution. Apart from the too poor printing quality, the distribution of the bars and notes over the width of the pages is sometimes changing by the bar, completely illogical and unmusical and close to impossible to follow while listening to the music.
With only half a centimeter larger and wider, and just 1 mm in thickness, the slightly more expensive Eulenburg edition is a pleasure to work with, and is thus highly recommended to everyone who might even dare to consider buying this dreadful Dover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great edition, September 30, 2007

By	Maxitita - See all my reviews

This edition of the Sixth Symphony is a great one in terms of quality, readability and presentation. The Sixth Symphony is probably one of Tchaikovsky's most famous works. The first movement is such a beautiful and emotional piece of music. The other movements are wonderful too, but I have a weakness for the first one. It is always interesting to read the score - while listening to the music for example - for there are so many details one could simply miss.
