Few composers have achieved the widespread and lasting popularity of Antonin Dvořák. He was a master of instrumentation and symphonic form, composing a total of nine symphonies. His most celebrated work, Symphony No. 9, "From the New World" (composed during Dvořák's three-year stay in America), echoes the folk spirit of his native Czechoslovakia as well as American influences, and is filled with the spontaneous melodic invention, rhythmic variety, and intensity of harmony that characterize his orchestral works.
The popular acclaim accorded the symphony "From the New World" tends to overshadow Dvořák's other symphonies, but Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians notes the "interesting…form…folk-spirit…virile serenity" of Symphony No. 8. The delightful freshness and uninhibited emotionalism of the composition have contributed to its lasting success. The Dover edition presents both symphonic masterpieces — among the most popular works in the orchestral repertoire — reprinted from authoritative editions in one inexpensive, practical volume.
This full-size, easy-to-read score has been printed with generous margins to allow insertion of notes, analyses, etc. The sturdy binding, high quality of reproduction, and affordable price make this volume ideal for musicians, music students, and music lovers in general.

Title: Very neat collection of works from Dvorak
Review: I initially bought this score with the intent of focusing on “The New World”, but I’ve found both works equally enjoyable end genius. Even as someone who prefers 20th-century composers, Dvorak’s orchestral repertoire is one that often goes undetected in the classical community. This is score presents these works wonderfully. Everything is clear and Dover’s bindings offer superior strength. Plenty of space in the margins and Dover scores never fail to impress.

Title: Good reprint
Review: Good and inexpensive version of two major works by Dvorak. Sits flat on my desk. The usual good quality found in Dover re-prints (so, no urtext stuff here... just a reprint of old editions).

Review: For the price this score is brilliant! It uses Dovers 'lay flat binding' which for a conductor is an absolute God-send. It is by no means perfect however. As with lots of Dover scores, the instrument names are lost from the staves after the first page,which causes some conductors an issue, but speaking as a conductor myself, you should know the score well enough for it not to be an issue in rehearsal and performance. The music is well spaced and easy to read/follow.Overall this is a great score, especially for students. The inclusion of both 8th and 9th symphonies is also a massive plus considering the price.Whether for personal enjoyment or conducting purposes this score is a brilliant choice!

Review: Dover Ausgaben sind wohl das Beste, was man für diesen Preis bekommen kann. Diese Ausgabe macht davon keine Ausnahme.Der Druck/Scan ist durchweg sehr gut und leserlich. Einen Abzug gibt es dann aber schon, denn einzelne Seiten erscheinen Schief gedruckt, bzw. schief gescannt. Das ist zwar unhübsch, für eine große Dirigierpartitur aber verkraftbar.
