Lots of helpful analysis and essays on the score included. I was pleased with the quality, though old and definitely worn.
I purchased this as a gift to a dear friend so my review is not overly detailed. This is an excellent copy of Beethoven's score that is easy to read and follow along with. What i did get to read for the essays was amazing. A great selection of historical figures writing about Beethoven is a great companion to have for any enthusiast and, more specifically, to this outstanding and beautiful piece of music.
Perfect book for class.
