Product Info Reviews

Description:

Now that Dover Publications has leapt into the field of pocket-sized musical scores, music students and anyone else with an interest in knowing how great works are put together have access to a highly affordable new tool. These full orchestral scores are obviously unsuitable for playing purposes, but ideally designed for reading along with during a concert or while listening to a recording. Like all Dover scores, this one is a reprint of an earlier, now out-of-copyright imprint.

Haydn's "Symphony No. 104 in D Major" is the 12th and last of his "London" symphonies, written on commission from a presenter in the British capital between 1791 and 1795. This is one of his most popular works, and rightly so, for it is immediately accessible and elegantly framed. And this score is a useful means of seeing how a great work by a legendary composer was crafted. --Sarah Bryan Miller
