Book Reviews of The Rite of Spring in Full Score
Book Review: Simply put - a great score
Summary: 5 Stars
Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" is excellent, but even if it weren't, this score would still be wonderful.
Major positive points:
1) The score stays open and flat on a table or conductor's stand. Dover seems to take great care with this in their full scores, and it really makes score reading/studying much simpler.
2) The paper is thin enough to keep the size of the score small, but it's thick enough that markings/highlighting don't bleed through, which is wonderful.
3) Every system has either instrument names or understandable abbreviations.
4) MEASURE NUMBERS!
5) The music is dark and easy to read. There are no faded or missing barlines, which is a problem I seem to encounter with Kalmus and Lucks scores, as well as Dover miniature editions.
6) Attractive layout and engraving. This doesn't just look like a Finale print, unlike some other new scores.
I've always been proved with Dover's orchestral scores, and this is no exception. I worked from the Boosey's score last semester, and I definitely prefer this one.
