Important and affordable for conductors, music students, and afficionados, this edition is a valuable tool for the personal and professional library. The rehearsal numbers and letters correspond to the Kalmus/Lucks parts, so these scores can be used from the conductor's podium. Like all Dover scores, the paper is not of high quality and the binding will eventually fail with age and repeated use. Many conductors have the binding cut and bound with a good quality spiral binding for longer life. Dover scores are a fraction of the cost of the scores printed by the music publishing houses, which makes them the scores of choice for students and musicians on a budget (aren't we all!)
