Anton bruckner: symphonies nos. 6 and 8 in full score

For study purposes Dover Publications are hard to beat. This is fine.

６番はもとの書体が綺麗で良い印刷すが、８番はもとの書体がやや雑で見にくく残念でした。しかしブルックナーのスコアは他の出版社はどれも高いのでこの値段はお買い得かと思います。

La impresión de la Octava Sinfonía es de pésima calidad. Una lástima, porque la Sexta está bastante bien. Devolví la partitura, y desde luego no recomiendo su compra.

This is a welcome addition to Dover's set of large-format full orchestral scores. As noted by several other reviewers, of the 2 Bruckner symphonies included here (6&8), the print quality of the 6th is much better than that of the 8th, though the 8th is nevertheless perfectly readable. More importantly, the edition used for the 8th is not stated, but appears to be the Nowak, with some cuts in the 3rd and 4th movements, rather than the Haas, which restored those cuts. If you are reading while listening to, e.g., Giulini and Vienna, which uses Nowak, alignment with the score is excellent, but with Karajan and Vienna, which uses Haas, at several points, starting around letter Q (p. 281) in the 3rd movement, you need to wait for the orchestra to play restored passages from Haas before continuing with the score. A couple of very negative reviews on this site made me hesitate for several months to buy this volume, but having now bought and used it, I'm glad I gave it a try, as it brings much pleasure despite its imperfections.

I used this score to follow live streaming this symphony on the Berlin Philharmonic website
