Review (PDF) Scheherazade (Suite Symphonique, Op. 35) (Kalmus Edition)

This Dover publication is a very cost-effective way to get accustomed with this masterpiece by Rimsky-Korsakov. Scheherazade tells the story of 1001 nights, Rimsky shines his light over a number of this tales. The score is clear, well-readible, but lacks commentary and is not an outstanding reproduction.
Among Rimsky-Korsakow's most beloved works, this orchestral poem depicting select tales from Scheherazade and 1001 Nights.The score is very durable and will lie flat nicely on a desk or music stand. The print is very large and easy to read, despite it's smaller size -- Dover opted for 8.5 x 11 in lieu of their more standard 9 x 12. The low price is a great attraction to the starving music student.You'll love this colorful score for the Rimsky-Korsakov's lush orchestration and romantic writing (the score itself has many colorful pictures on it). This is a must for the music student, professional, or advid listener, alike.
I buy these scores strictly as an amateur. I can't even read music very well. But I find them invaluable in trying to work through the structure of music that I love. So for that purpose, this is perfect. I seriously doubt these scores would be of use for any purpose other than private study, but for that they are perfect.
NOT THE DOVER EDITION! I wanted the full score, but this edition by Kalmus is a piano reduction. Not that the score is wrong or bad, but I wanted the full piece. Alas, for some reason, sends you this when you order the Dover. Be warned.
I am studying Rimsky-Korsakov's Intrumentation Book. This famous composition will be helpful to understand how he uses instruments for coloring, balance, and expression.
No issues. Clean, clear print, exactly what I ordered. I'll definitely buy from Dover again, as their prices can not be beat for orchestral scores.
