Petrushka in Full Score: Original Version (Dover Orchestral Music Scores)

I absolutely loved this music book! I already own many of Stravinsky's other scores, so this was a long-overdue addition to my collection. I was very impressed with the speedy delivery time and was pleasantly surprised by the handwritten note from the seller thanking me for the purchase and the importance of buyer feedback. I had never seen this gesture of good faith from a seller before. I have already begun to dissect every single line of Stravinsky's music score; thus the life of a music major.Note to all Amazon customers: buy from this seller!

I bought this score to study for an exam. Then when reading the section of the "Russian Dance," I heard the orchestration much richer and transparent from the recording than it is on the score. It turns out that there is a revised version of this work by Stravinsky himself in 1947. I listened to couple recordings on Naxos music library and pretty sure that most of the recordings play the revised version published by Bossey & Hawkes  Petrouchka: Score (Boosey & Hawkes Masterworks Library) . The instrumentation of the revised version is smaller and its orchestration has lots more details, such as articulations and economic uses of the textures. The revised version has different rehearsal numbers and extra arrangement for the ending. Just be careful about which version you are looking for.

Quick delivery, love this piece!

Great piece.Great score.Great edition.Really clear and accurate,has enough space to mark you notes and follow the score easily.

The Petrushka Full Score was ideal to study one of Igor Stravinski's first ballet music. It was very revealing but concise.

Perfect as I expected.

everything perfect

Me llego una edición en mal estado (páginas desordenadas) pero me la cambiaron rápidamente. La partitura es de muy buena calidad. Recomendable 100%.

こういう作品のスコアは大きい方が見やすい。こちらはアメリカではパブリックドメインになっている1911年版。まだパブリックドメインではない1947年版はブージー＆ホークスから出版されている。

大判フルスコアであり、活用できる。　　ミニチュアスコアの値段であり、勉強用にも使えると思います。
