Antonin Dvorak Symphonies Nos. 8 and 9, New World, in Full Score

This is great — I'm an orchestral conductor and I love marking up physical copies. And great pieces, of course!

I initially bought this score with the intent of focusing on “The New World”, but I’ve found both works equally enjoyable end genius. Even as someone who prefers 20th-century composers, Dvorak’s orchestral repertoire is one that often goes undetected in the classical community. This is score presents these works wonderfully. Everything is clear and Dover’s bindings offer superior strength. Plenty of space in the margins and Dover scores never fail to impress.

Not bad for the price, but be prepared to hand write the instrumentation on every single page of this score. Also, has many mistakes. I would only recommend using this in collaboration with a smaller more accurate score and fixing the problems.

Good and inexpensive version of two major works by Dvorak. Sits flat on my desk. The usual good quality found in Dover re-prints (so, no urtext stuff here... just a reprint of old editions).

These scores are great to conduct from and for score study. The notation is very clear and easy to read, and the binding has held up well. I am very pleased with this purchase and cannot think of a criticism for this edition.

This is great score book that is strong & nice.They will last for a long time.They will not tear easy also.Also they are easy to read.These books are well made.

I wish it was spiral bound so that it would lay flat, however it is otherwise and excellent purchase.

This was a gift for my son. He really enjoyed it. What more can one say? Check it out yourself.

For the price this score is brilliant! It uses Dovers 'lay flat binding' which for a conductor is an absolute God-send. It is by no means perfect however. As with lots of Dover scores, the instrument names are lost from the staves after the first page,which causes some conductors an issue, but speaking as a conductor myself, you should know the score well enough for it not to be an issue in rehearsal and performance. The music is well spaced and easy to read/follow.Overall this is a great score, especially for students. The inclusion of both 8th and 9th symphonies is also a massive plus considering the price.Whether for personal enjoyment or conducting purposes this score is a brilliant choice!

Dover Ausgaben sind wohl das Beste, was man für diesen Preis bekommen kann. Diese Ausgabe macht davon keine Ausnahme.Der Druck/Scan ist durchweg sehr gut und leserlich. Einen Abzug gibt es dann aber schon, denn einzelne Seiten erscheinen Schief gedruckt, bzw. schief gescannt. Das ist zwar unhübsch, für eine große Dirigierpartitur aber verkraftbar.

Dover bringt hier Reprints der Ausgaben Novello & Company, Limited, London, 1892 (Symphonie Nr. 8) und Simrock, Berlin, 1894 (Symphonie Nr. 9). Zum Studium ist diese Ausgabe gut verwendbar. Die Qualität der Reproduktionen ist natürlich bedingt durch die verwendeten Scan-Vorlagen der betagten Originalpartituren, liegt aber durchaus im akzeptablen Bereich.

Le edizioni Dover so sempre una garanzia di qualità.

Quel plaisir de découvrir la richesse d'orchestration de ces œuvres célèbres de Dvorák!La partition est claire et agréable à suivre et il est passionnant de la lire en écoutant cette belle musique.
