German Requiem in Full Score

Dover Publications scores are the best value-for-money scores you can find out there, but the features of their scores are a bit hit and miss. This is one of the few orchestral scores they have which appears to have everything.This particular edition is from Britkopf & Härtel's edition from 1926. I have no issues on the choice of format. It is not a condensed score, but features all present parts, even when they are silent for the entire page. For myself, I actually find this to be an advantage, as it means more space for analytical notes. One advantage this score has that many other Dover editions don't is the presence of bar numbers; very convenient in such a large scale piece!The paper quality and printing quality is good; heavy rubber use is not a problem and there are no noteworthy blemishes in the print.Unless someone can point out major errors in the print, this is everything the lay person, analyst, or pretty much anyone who isn't going to play an instrument in a performance could ever wish.

Most importantly, this score does not require destruction of the spine to keep the page open where you want it. Quite an important feature for both musicians and singers. For the historian, the notes at the beginning offer a taste of Brahms’ state of mind when writing the piece, along with a handwriting sample of the original score. It is useful to have the original German text, and the English translation, on facing pages.

You need to know that this product is defective. It is missing 16 pages of the music score. I would recommend that you notify the supplier and that you no longer offer it for sale.

Any good reproduction - as this one is - of the "Complete Works" edition of the works of Johannes Brahms simply CAN'T FAIL to be more than worth its weight in gold; especially when it's cheap AND good, without compromising on the qualities of a good book (good paper, well sewn-together, opening flat, of good size such that you can easily conduct from it as well as enjoy reading it at your desk or have it in your lap while hearing a recording!!!). Most warmly recommended without any reservations whatsoever!!!!

Great study score, good for marking up And throwing in your bag. Easy to read, all modern vocal clefs.

Typical Dover score - well printed on quality paper. I wish amazon would ship these things in a cardboard box to avoid the corners getting bent.

This is truly a beautiful, useful score. I am torn between using it for performances and displaying for others to enjoy!

Overall quality is great. The book lies flat easily. What else is there to say? All the notes and articulations are there.

Preiswerte, große gute Ausgabe zum Preis einer Taschenpartitur!

Gekauft als Amazon Warehouse-Deal mit der Qualitätseinstufung „sehr gut“ und Beschreibung „moderater Schaden am Cover“.Zustand des gelieferten Produktes hervorragend! Neu mit einem kleinen Knick im Cover an der Seite/Rückseite.Zur Note selber nur kurz- Dover eben- hier für vergleichsweise kleines Geld eine wunderbare Partitur.

Noisy page turns, will need to buy a new score this one is absolutely unusable

Everything was in perfect conditions. No problem with the buy or sending and reception. I really recommend it. Very good

昔からDoverのスコアにはお世話になっています。楽譜というものは、書き込みをしたり、頻繁にめくったり、練習会場に持ち運んだりと一種の実用品としての側面を持っています。なので、製本がしっかりしており反射の少ない紙質のものが求められます。しかもこのサイズにしてこのプライス!これ以上何も求めません。
