Book Reviews of Symphony No. 8 In Full Score (Dover Music Scores)
Book Review: It's the full, complete score
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm getting older, so I need to use glasses when reading music now. This score isn't the same as having the score in sheet music on your stand, where the typeface is larger. So using it to play would be difficult, in my opinion. You'd want the sheet music if you were performing it. However, as other reviewers so well noted, this score is excellent for those who know how to read music but haven't performed this piece (unfortunately, including me too). It's amazing when listening to Mahler's 8th how much is going on that you don't hear in a recording. Even if you've had the priveledge of hearing it performed live (a rarity since it requires massive orchestral and choral forces, not to mention other instruments, and that cost $$$), you still cannot take in every musical nuance that is going on. Having the score in front of you while listening brings this out. For me, I can't even imagine how Mahler conceived and wrote this piece; it is so complex and moving. And to know that he received such incredible praise at its debut, the orchestra applauding and the children's choir singing his name at fff as he passed them, when he didn't have much praise as a composer warms the heart. I would have given anything to have been in the audience at the debut performance, with artist luminaries, dignataries and royalty present. I guess it was destined that he died within a year of writing it.
As some reviewers said earlier, this score is indespensible for starving college students and musicians.
