Great product at a great price. The newer binding stays open better than the old Dover scores. One major flaw in these dover scores is that they do not contain measure numbers! I own several and for the life of me I can't figure out why Dover doesn't put measure numbers in the scores. Very frustrating to say the least!

This is a great collection of the Schumann symphonies, there are much better editions out there but for the price these are a good buy!

23.5 x 31 cm, easy for the eye.no numbering for measures, no practice marks.reproduction of Breitkopf & Haertel 1881~1887

I Wanted to have a Schumann symphony score. I love the theme of the first movement of the 3rd symphony. I like to hear it on a piano my be someday i will make a transcription for the piano.
