I bought this score from Amazon and had to send it back as soon as it arrived. I had tried to find out more about it before purchasing it but couldn't find a description anywhere so I'm writing this review to help others in the same situation.
Firstly this is a score of Mozart's Requiem, surely one of the most beautiful and profound pieces of music there is. A fantastic piece of art by an amazing composer.
This particular score is part of the Dover Miniatures series and, believe me, these things are miniature! They seem barely larger than an A5 page and consequently the notes are absolutely tiny. I found it hard enough reading the Novello score of Requiem that my library stocked - and this is much harder. If your eyesight isn't absolutely spot on then give this one a miss.
And the other big problem with this score - I hadn't realised that it's the full score which means a line of music for each instrument and no separate piano score. The version I had previously used had SATB and the piano part - this had the strings and woodwind and brass and stuff like that so wasn't what I needed. If you need to buy a score of Requiem as you're playing it in a concert then you're probably going to find this too small again. I suppose it's really aimed at those singing as they need less concentration on the notes once knowing them and the book is nice and small to hold during practises but I don't think it's suitable for musicians and, for a pianist like me, it was the wrong buy altogether.

Mission Accomplished
10 Nov 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This product is exactly what it says it is: the complete score to the most commonly performed version of Mozart's Requiem, the one finished by his pupil, Franz Xaver Sussmayr. My favorite thing about this score is that it includes notes on who wrote what! We're not positive who did how much precisely, but these sound to me reasonably accurate.
Unbelievable writing, this piece.
Includes translation of Latin.

Too small to use

Too small to use/read, compounded by the fact the print paper is low quality, as is the printing itself.
Really, Amazon should not be selling this.
