Summary: The score is a winner! 2007-10-06
Comment: Tchaikovsky has long been my favorite composer, and his Fourth Symphony my all time favorite piece of music. The pleasure of listening to a fine recording (such as the Chicago Symphony's) is only heightened by following along in the score. This edition is easy to read, and as the symphony progresses, turns into a real page-turner! Nuances of the work appear in black and white, and even the smallest detail becomes crystal clear. See the note on the page, and hear it played, and the exquisite detail will never be lost in the hearing again. Analyze Tchaikovsky's brilliance, but most of all, lose yourself in his stunning melodies and especially in the case of the Fourth, his enchanting use of the woodwinds, but most of all, enhance your listening to his genius.

Summary: 3 Classics 2007-09-15
Comment: Important and affordable for conductors, music students, and afficionados, this edition is a valuable tool for the personal and professional library. The rehearsal numbers and letters correspond to the Kalmus/Lucks parts, so these scores can be used from the conductor's podium. Like all Dover scores, the paper is not of high quality and the binding will eventually fail with age and repeated use. Many conductors have the binding cut and bound with a good quality spiral binding for longer life. Dover scores are a fraction of the cost of the scores printed by the music publishing houses, which makes them the scores of choice for students and musicians on a budget (aren't we all!)

Summary: Pages missing 2007-04-27
Comment: Very dissapointed in the Dover editions. There's always something wrong.
In this case it skips pages: from 54 it jumps to 200+ and after 30-40 pages in the 200 range it goes back to 86. It's very frustrating when you are trying to study the score.
2 star not 1 because layout is very clear, medium-big print. Nice pages.

Summary: Outstanding reprints of great music from fine early editions 2005-07-31
Comment: Yet another triumph on the part of Dover Publications! Good size format allows easy following of all orchestral parts for anybody but the most visually-impaired; the full richness of the writing is there with practically no mistakes; an absolute MUST!!!

Summary: Great edition 2003-08-12
Comment: The last three symphonies of Tchaikovsky are mainstays of the orchestral literature. The more a music lover delves into them, the more rewards they contain. There is no better way to delve into them than by following along with the score. For the beginning score reader, these symphonies might be too intimidating, for Tchaikovsky's orchestra is large and varied, leading to a very full page of notes. But for the brave of heart or more experienced score readers, the treasures and beauties of this music are revealed as you follow along. Dover's edition is well printed, and as always is very affordable. So dive into the pages. Discover things in the music that you never knew were there! Recommended!
