Piano Concerto No. 1 In D-flat Major, Op. 10, In Full Score

After his training as a concert pianist at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, Sergei Prokofiev played this single-movement concerto for his final examination. The concerto opens with a grandiose theme that unifies the entire work. Four contrasting sections are fashioned into a three-part sonata design, climaxing in a brilliant solo cadenza. Impressed with the young composer's unique style, the judges awarded Prokofiev the coveted Rubinstein prize.This early work exhibits all the characteristics of Prokofiev's later achievements, including memorable melodies, propulsive rhythms, and an impish sense of humor. Reprinted from an authoritative source, this affordable, large-format volume is suitable for use by conductors, students, pianists, and all admirers of the twentieth-century master.

What can you say about a score? First, it needs to be legible and accurate. Check. Next, it needs to be printed on fine stock that reflects light well so that you can see it in various conditions. Check. The binding needs to be "sewn in signatures" as Dover always reminds us, and they do that very nicely. Thus, it stays open to the page you want, without clips or weights to wrestle it back down to the stand. Check.There is one other quality that seems much harder to copy. Look around and you'll see that Dover scores have got to be among the cheapest out there. You don't find many publishers rushing to copy that feature. Thank you, Dover!Shooshie
