Free Nutcracker Suite In Full Score (Dover Music Scores) Ebooks To Download
Completed in 1892, Tchaikovsky's entertaining masterpiece is one of the most popular pieces ever created for ballet. A perennial favorite in theaters and concert halls — especially at Christmastime — The Nutcracker vividly displays the composer's virtuosity in creating varied orchestral colors.Exhibiting immense "charm and novelty of instrumentation" (Grove's Dictionary), the work has delighted generations of listeners with such familiar favorites as the "Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy," "Trepak" (Russian Dance), "Arabian Dance," "Chinese Dance," and "Waltz of the Flowers."Now available to students, teachers, and musicians at a price considerably less than any comparable full score would cost, this high-quality reproduction of an authoritative edition will be welcomed by music lovers everywhere.

I purchased this score years ago before Dover published the full ballet score, and though I wished I had the full ballet at the time, this sufficed as a convenient set of selections from the ballet that form the Suite. Please, do realize that this is the SUITE and not the full ballet. It does say it in the title, but I've read a few reviews from people upset by the fact that it wasn't the full ballet. The title says "Suite" so please realize this before purchasing this product.
I was slightly disappointed when I received this score. While the contents of the book are exceptional - as is always the case with Dover - and the binding of the book is unusually strong - sewn, not glued - I found it disturbingly thin. Much to my dismay, I discovered that this book did not contain every piece I had expected. Perhaps I am unfamiliar with the exact contents of the "Nutcracker Suite," but all the pieces on my Nutcracker CD were NOT in this score.99.9% of the time, Dover produces the best score available to the average consumer. This is the .1%. While it might be the best score on the market today, I found that it was not what I had wanted. Don't get me wrong - everything in the book is fantastic - I had just expected more.
Can't remember if the size of this was given in the info. but don't buy it if you want to use it as sheet music, it's tiny! Nice cover, but useless if you want to use it at the piano and way over priced. I returned it.
The score is fine. It came in good condition. The picture on the front is kind of disturbing, though. Haven't seen any typos. The edition looks clean.
