Summary: A Boon for Strauss Singers
Comment: At last, a Rosenkavelier piano/vocal score that's not only affordable, but a real bargain. This score is a reprint of the Furstner piano reduction that costs three to four times less than the original. Like the full score, this piano/vocal reduction was first edited by Strauss' friend and publisher, Adolf Furstner, in the early 20th century. The score has no English translation, but that's no real problem. The volume is well made, as always, and is easy to read. No Opera singer's library is complete without a copy of the piano/vocal score to Der Rosenkavelier. Now, this is the one to buy.

Summary: Strauss' most Popular
Comment: Der Rosenkavelier represented a new type of music drama for Richard Strauss. Prior to this time, his operas were quite hard edged: Salome, the story of a young woman whose erotic dancing skills cost John the Baptist his head, and Elektra, the story of a young woman who avenges her father's murder on her mother and her mother's lover. Der Rosenkavelier is, by contrast, rather tranquil. It tells the story of an older woman who, despite her love for a young man (played by a young woman), assists that young man in winning the love of a young woman. It's drama is small, Chekhovian even, and comparisons have often been made to Mozart's Marriage of Figaro. Dover reprinted a numbered copy, number 36 to be precise, of a limited first printing edited and published in 1910 by Strauss' publisher and friend, Adolf Furstner. This volume is, perhaps, the best buy among all Dover's opera scores, especially for Strauss lovers. This volume contains an English translation of all frontismatter and a glossary of German musical terms. The score is large and legible enough to conduct from, and the rehearsal markers correspond with those of the parts. And, as always, the price is a baseline bargain. If you love this opera, buy this score.

Summary: Excellent full size score of this popular opera
Comment: This publisher offers full orchestral scores of several of Strauss' operas in full size for moderate prices, because they are copies from old editions.
The printing of this score of Der Rosenkavalier, certainly his most popular opera, is excellent, the edition is reliable.
Meanwhile there may be one or two other cheap editions of this score, but not at this size.
