 Rating:  - Let the BUYER BEWARE!!!While Dover's many scores represent an amazing value across the musical repertoire, their collection and reprint of the Litolff Edition of the Beethoven Symphonies was a mistake. For the casual buyer they are workable, but not for serious use in performance, as they are riddled with editorial mistakes and problems. Purchaser would be better advised to find a set of the miniature (octavo-sized) Bärenreiter critical scores. They are bound just as nicely and the paper is of excellent quality. I use ...

You can examine these two works in this very nice edition of the works. As you listen to the eight you will notice all the subtle rhythmic devices Beethoven provides to work his magic. You will also find the Ninth a wonderful adventure. How are those mountains of sound built in the first movement ... Read More Rating: - Wonderful Beethoven ScoreLike the other two books in Dover's Beethoven Symphonies set, the score to the Eighth and Ninth are wonderful. The print is large and very readable. The best part is the low price. This is a must for the starving (music) student, teachers, listeners, and professionals alike. I highly reccommend it. Rating: - Worth HavingThese scores (as well as those of the other symphonies) are worth having. Serious students of music can take invaluable lessons from Beethoven's knowledge of counterpoint, orchestration, dynamics, melody, harmony, notation, and form. Additionally these are great listening aids, pointing out "Nebenstimmen" ("secondary voices") that might not be noticed at first listen. This way one can learn to enjoy Beethoven (and other music) as many melodies intertwining into a larger fabric. Rating: - A Must!Beethoven's 8th symphony is one of his most underrated works. In this symphony by looking at the score, we see a mature master at work. It is a very good reproduction of the original score. How about his ninth!?! Considered by many to be his best symphony, the score to his Ode to Joy masterpiece is amazing. Any student, amature or professional will greatley benfit from this score. Even the novice who knows basic music will love this score. His ninth is unparralled, so why not buy it? |
