A wonderful resource!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This is an excellent volume for analyzing. I purchased this book for the very purpose of becoming more familiar with Mozart's string quartets, as I haven't been playing classical music for very long. The book is incredibly valuable, considering having 23 full quartets with each part, and very affordable.
It doesn't get any better than this
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Aside from the obvious, that this music is exceptional in all regards, this edition is a bargain for anyone who enjoys reading along while listening to the music (those of us who like to "see" what's we are hearing - very instructive) or for the player (even though I don't play a bowed string instrument, I enjoy reading/playing the parts). You can't go wrong with this well priced edition.
Give Mozart a break
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
The reader from St Louis should be told that Mozart was still a teenager when he wrote most of his quartets. Try the Hoffmiester and the 3 Prussian Quartets. Better still try the Viola Quintets. Nothing prosaic here!
Good Score and Good Edition
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is a good score and of course wonderful music. The editing is good, but there are a few questionable bowings. This is definitely good for anybody needing a score for the music. It also gives one an idea of how the music fits together if one plays in a quartet. Well Done!
