I was thrilled when I saw that Dover had published the complete score of Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker" and snatched it up immediately. It is BIG. The pages are a normal 9 x 12 (or so) but the book is about 2 inches thick and for a score with only 90 minutes of music that's unusual (I know, that was trivial factoid). The cover and pages are sturdy and have held up well to my numerous readings of the score and flipping pages quickly as I follow along with a recording. It's nice to be able to follow one line, say, the clarinet part (I played clarinet) through the piece and be able to hear it because you're focused in on what an individual instrument's part is during the work (it's amazing to hear some of the little details that you normally don't pay attention to). The binding is strong, the print is easy to read, and it has a very reasonable price. It should be in the collection of anyone who reads music and, I guess, those who don't but want to see what the score looks like.

It's a thick full score with a sewn binding so it lays flat. Early pages include a list of English translations for Russian text which is too long to fit on certain pages. I am very pleased!

大判で非常に見やすく、リプリント版とはとても思えません。買ってから早速全曲版のCDを聴きながら目を通しましたが、カットや落丁もなく、安心して使えます。楽譜内の注釈は英･仏･露の三ヶ国語でかかれており、当然のことながら1曲ごとに台本もしっかりと書かれております。さすがDover版。この勢いで、他の『白鳥の湖』や『眠りの森の美女』の全曲版も出ることを期待します。
