Lovely edition.
Good to have the score to read & play, along with reading Ian Bostridge's book on Schubert's Winterreise. Thanks, arrived in good shape and quickly.

this a very good value.
Translations in English are in the back, so it is very awkward to follow along if you don't read German. Otherwise, this a very good value.

Molti si chiedono a cosa possa servire il cartaceo di pezzi non più da un secolo sotto copyright e per questo scaricabili gratis legalmente dalle ormai note biblioteche musicali online. In tal senso questa recensione può essere valida per qualsiasi spartito o libro, ma cercherò di concentrarmi sui cicli schubertiani in oggetto. Dover è una casa editrice nota per ristampare edizioni preesistenti senza pretese estreme di filologia, e per questo ha il merito di abbattere i costi rispetto alle varie famigerate Urtext-ausgaben o edizioni critiche. Possiamo così avere per relativamente pochi euro un libro fruibilissimo per accostarsi allo studio della liederistica o per semplice consultazione. Quanto allo studio, la qualità della rilegatura e della carta fanno sì che il libro stia bene sul leggio di un pianoforte senza tendere a chiudersi o senza lasciar trasparire le note stampate sul retro delle pagine, cosa per un musicista molto fastidiosa quando si ha a che fare con stampe fatte in casa. Tutti i lieder sono in tonalità originale, alcuni sono trasposti o presentano versioni differenti. In conclusione, consiglio l'acquisto di questa raccolta dei tre grandi cicli di romanze di Schubert all'amatore, al melomane, allo studente o perfino al professionista che non abbia bisogno di addentrarsi in questioni filologiche specifiche. Se si ha coscienza della filosofia e degli obiettivi della casa editrice l'acquisto non potrà che dare molte soddisfazioni rispetto a una stampa fai-da-te.

I needed a set of Winterreise songs, but this book has all three of Schubert's song cycles at an affordable price. 58 songs in all. This is a full-size score (310mm x 240mm) and very readable compared with A4 or smaller copies.

If you're going to get the Song Cycles, this edition includes a good many details. Also, the "Laid Flat Sewn-Binding" is a great help. I was analyzing this book for my Music Theory class and not having to vigorously bend it so it would stay open was a life saver. The product was not damaged when I received it.
