These symphonies are an amazing treasure to sift through for new sounds and part writing.

Sibelius's first two symphonies are not regarded as being his best but I personally love the first symphony. I wrote a research paper for a music history course relating Symphony 1 and 7. I used this score to analyze the first symphony and enjoyed working with this version of the score. However, I can't find any other version of the score and I would've liked to have found a pocket-sized version of the first symphony only so it would have been cheaper.

This reprint is exactly what you expect from Dover: an acceptable photocopy (yes, that's that Dover scores are) of an old edition of the piece. This said, the score is printed on good quality paper, has a good size to conduct from it, and opens flat on a music desk, and on top the price is really good.

I was Thrilled with the production quality of this score; good binding and clear printing, and it was delight to have this verdant opus available. Well done Dover!

Because this is a reprint of the Breitkopf & Hartel original, the print is exceptionally clear and easy to read. The 12" x 9 1/2" page is perfect for the conductor's stand, and the "Lay Flat Sewn-Binding" is a blessing for the performer. One wishes for several improvements: measure numbers, the identification of the instruments when the full instrumentation appears, and bar lines broken between the winds and brass, as they are above the strings. Also, a brief commentary about the symphonies would be of interest. All in all, this is a beautiful score and a delight to own and study.

This is a great collection of Sybelius Symphonies, there are much better editions out there but for the price these are a good buy!

Grazie Dover! Edizione notevole come nello stile delle edizioni di musica classica e lirica della celebre casa editrice Dover P. Ltd. Grazie a questa casa editrice si possono trovare ed acquistare spartiti e partiture, che altrimenti sarebbero irreperibili oppure assai costose!

iPad miniでみているのですが、表示が小さいです。正確なスコアとしてお求めになる向きにはお勧めできません。 ただし私の場合、合奏中にほかのパートがどのように動いているかを確かめる程度の使い方なので、さほどの悪影響はありません。ので星3つ。

For some reason the scores refuse to appear on my Kindle Paperwhite, whether this is me or whether it needs a higher spec Kindle I don't know. I downloaded it to the Kindle app on my iPad mini. The quality is not good, the pages appear too small to read, if you enlarge them you cannot turn the page over. I debated whether or not to return the scores, but they are just about good enough for reference purposes (I want to steal techniques from Sibelius for my own compositions!). I will keep them out of laziness, but advise anyone else to buy a decent printed copy and not waste their money.

2曲入ってこの値段なら。ページごと楽器名かいてあったら最高だけど。
