no measure number
th score dose not have rehearsal number.It will be ok to use for reference, but is not a good score to use for rehersal.

Good score, great price
While I strongly disagree with the reviewer who labeled classical music as "snooze-material" (how uncultured do we really wish to paint ourselves as being?), I do agree that the Dover score is a great and inexpensive purchase for anyone wishing to study either symphony.It's interesting to note that Simrock-Dvorak's usual publisher-and Dvorak were at odds over money when the 8th symphony was completed, so he had it published in London by Novello (it is because of this that the work is used to be called Symphony No. 4 and is often referred to as the "English" Symphony), but that all was back to normal by the time he had completed the 9th.Dover reprints both original imprints of the two scores: the 8th Symphony is a Novello reprint (1892) and the 9th Symphony is a Simrock reprint (1894).As is always the case with Dover scores the binding holds up well to backpack abuse and the pages don't tear when your theory professor goes ripping through them discussing formal construction with you.

Dvorak's Greatest Symphonies
Everyone goes on and on about the 9th. Yes, it's a great symphony, but abit overplayed. The 8th, on the other hand, is a fantastic work which stillsounds fresh to the listener 100 years after it was written.

If you'reinterested in learning about the 8th symphony, seeing the scoring of thatfamous Largo in the 9th, or simply are curious about the way Dvorak scoredfor the orchestra, this edition of these two symphonies needs to be in yourlibrary. Conductors know that Dover editions are wonderful inexpensivealternatives to "Urtext" editions, and are ideal for initialstudy, building a library, and even use as a conducting score in manycases. They're great volumes, they're published well, they look and feelgreat.

These two symphonies should be represented in any classical musiclover's recording collection, and the scores make excellent listeningcompanions. If you can read the music, and especially if you might everhave to conduct these works, this edition is a must-buy.

Es grandiosa!!!
La 9a Sinfonía de Dvorak es un gran ejemplo de perfección en la escritura sinfónica: 4 movimientos constructurados (el tercero un scherzo), esta sinfonía fué compuesta para un viaje de Dvorak a los Estados Unidos, todala fuerza y delicadeza que implica la ejecución de esta sinfonia debe serestrictamente perfecta. La dulzura del segundo movimiento logra el efectopara el cual fue escrito, es una gran sinfonía!!!.

Dvorak's AMAZING New World Symphony
I played a shortened version of this piece with my high school Jr Band. Then, we played it in Sr band, and finally got to see it performed by theClevland Symphony Orchestra.Wow.I wouldn't think a piece of classicalmusic, normally considered snooze material, would have such an impact.Wewere inspired and awed.We felt the music, especially since we've playedit.The speed, agility and variring nature of the piece brings youup inthe 1st section... slows you down in the second with beauteous harmony...brings the pace back up in the third for the final heart-wrenching finish. Buy this piece!!!You'll be happy you did!!! ... Read more

A Trilogy about Truth, Freedom and Love

The third audio book in the series of Chekhov's Short Stories featuring a trilogy of interlinked stories about Truth, Freedom and Love. Read by Max Bollinger in English (unabridged). First published in 1898 in Russian and released as separate stories. This title, based on translations by Constance Garnett with revision and adaptation by Max Bollinger follows Chekhov's original vision by bringing the three stories together once again.

Chekhov dedicated considerable amount of time writing the 3 stories in this trilogy and was very particular about his intention to release them as once piece. This is evident from his correspondence with his publisher. But his wishes were ignored during his lifetime and the first story had been published separately. The story received colossal amount of attention from both professional critics and general public and resonated so strongly that readers were compelled to write long letters to Chekhov (in some cases over 20 pages in length) praising him for being so truthful, for enlightening and reflecting the reality of their lives. Many prominent critics of the time such as Lyatsky attacked Chekhov for attempting to generalise "life in a bubble" which he claimed was more of a pathological exception than a rule. Lyatsky also accused Chekhov of only showing the dreadful sides of life and never providing the reader with an answer of how to improve it.

Leo Tolstoy disagreed with Lyatsky after reading the second story. "Happiness does not exist and should not exist. And if there is purpose in life, this purpose should not be our personal happiness, it should be about something more intelligent, something more divine", from Tolstoy's letter to Gusev (1910).

The third story, About Love, concludes the trilogy, but Chekhov's initial thoughts were to produce another sequel. The forth story never materialised however. The relationship described in the third story was based on Chekhov's own relationship with Miss Avilova who upon publication of this story compared Chekhov with "busy bee who flies about and is happy to collect honey from just about anything on its way". Such colourful comparison could not be left unanswered and Chekhov quickly responded to Miss Avilova that "You are being unkind towards your busy bee. The bee first sees bright beautiful flowers and only then collects honey from them".

After publication of all stories in this trilogy, even most unflattering critics of Chekhov agreed that these 3 stories represented a significant milestone in Chehov's personal development as a serious writer. They all noted that the tone of these stories was less frivolous in comparison to his earlier work. Regarding Chekhov's About Love, Mikhailovsky wrote that Chekhov was touching upon most significant and important questions of human life with such skill, depth and emotion that "Chekhov in lifting us to the sky, is showing us a third dimension, so to speak".

Nevertheless, Bogdanovich, another critic of the time, found yet more reasons to criticise Chekhov. This time it was for allowing Chekhov's personal voice to speak through his characters and for Chekhov's own guiding light shining and showing readers the way.

Such fierce and often unfair criticism no doubt played its part in contributing towards Chekhov's poor health. In his letters he described that he simply could not write anymore. He moved to the sunny shores of Black Sea and only after a long pause started to write again giving us such treasures as Cherry Orchard, Uncle Vanya and The Seagull and many other wonderful novels and stories. ...
