Great Cheap Score.......2007-06-29
If you are enthralled with the Rite's rhythm, harmony, or whatever... this is the perfect opportunity to see the orchestration and metric usage. As someone who loves the Rite, and analyzing music, this was a no brainer. Cheap and easy to read. Absolutely fantastic.
Well Worth The Money!.......2006-01-17
From Jordan in Minnesota
In 1998 I bought the original score of Le Sacre du Printemps from Kalmus for 65.00 dollars!! Although the Kalmus version in cited from numerous musicians and stravinsky himself, this version of dovers is well worth the 10 dollars!! It is pretty much the same as Kalmus' but it has no chief editor, and since its a reprint it will have the same concept as the Kalmus score, only it is 55.00 dollars cheaper. If anyone wants the 4 extra pages of the kalmus version that compares the scores, I would be happy to copy it and send them, as long as people realize that the Kalmus version as of January 16 2006 is almost 100.00. So stick with this dover version it will definately save you the money!!

Simply An Amazing Revelation!!.......2004-06-26
"The Rite of Spring In Full Score" contains the complete unabridged score of composer Igor Stravinsky's timeless classic "The Rite Of Spring". Besides presenting the full musical notation for the entire piece, this book also contains a brief but detailed history on the work. Looking at the score is an astounding revelation into Stravinsky's creative genius. What often sounds like pure noise on recordings and in performance is in reality carefully notated and fully realized. In other words, Stravinsky knew exactly what he was after when he composed "The Rite of Spring" and the score proves it in all its glory. Even if you can't read music, if you're a fan of Igor Stravinsky and "The Rite Of Spring", this score is an essential guide and study tool to this revolutionary work. It also offers an insight into the composer's fascinating creative mind.
Most strongly recommended!.......2002-08-15
It's no secret that "Vjesná Svjashchjénnaja" ("Spring Consecrated", a literal translation of the original Russian title) is an exceedingly difficult piece to understand; doubly so if all one can do is hear a recording. A score is essential for it to be fully understood - and what better way to handle this challenge than via this reprint from a Soviet edition(outstandingly accurate yet inexpensive)? Another bonus: you also get to sample some of the thinking and ideology that Communism was forcing on its people in all regards and all walks of life - outstanding reminder of what political correctness can do to us all(this warning especially meant for those who believe in it in any way whatsoever...)!! Buy this without delay!!!
Probably the greatest musical composition of all times.......2000-04-20
For anyone who loves music in general as much as I do, Stravinsky's Rite Of Spring can be, to say the least, a shockingly intense listening experience, full of strangely dissonant polytonal simultaneities, overwhelming rhythmic dephasing, and colorful details and timbristic effects that take maximum advantage of what a great symphony orchestra has to offer. This edition of the translated original score allows you a better understanding of this revolutionary musical monsterpiece, with visual complement to what your ears couldn't even consider figuring out. Sometimes it's simpler than you would imagine; sometimes it's much, much more complex. This work taught me a great deal about music composition & arranging, and the book also allowed me to write a reduction of the "Spring Rounds" for a 7-piece band.

Book Description
A season has passed in Carson Springs since Stranger in Paradise. And with a baby on the way, Samantha Kiley and Ian Carpenter will soon be loving parents. But in Taste of Honey it is Sam's best friend Gerry whose head and heart are put to the test when she is forced to face the secret she has kept for almost thirty years.
Everyone knows that feisty, sensual Gerry Fitzgerald wasn't always so outspoken. As a young, impressionable novitiate, Gerry became pregnant. She fled the altar just as she was about to take her vows to become a nun and never breathed a word about why. Twenty-eight years later the child she gave up for adoption has come back into her life, a grown woman looking for answers. For Gerry, the question is how to defuse the years of guilt, shame, and bitterness that divide her from her daughter, how to create and nurture a bond as fragile as a cobweb. As Gerry opens the emotional floodgates she also unexpectedly finds that her feelings for her lover, symphony conductor Aubrey Roellinger, grow more complex and consuming. No longer only a series of satisfying trysts with manageable emotional boundaries, their relationship has begun to crack open both their cautious hearts.
Compulsively readable, Taste of Honey brings fans back to the idyllic California valley with characters who take on new dimensions as their secrets emerge and their lives and loves progress. Irresistible and romantic, Eileen Goudge's latest Carson Springs novel is not to be missed.
Customer Reviews:
Won't read this author again.......2006-10-05
I picked up the taped version of the book to listen to on the way to work and back. I find the plot silly, and the characters too cardboard. I am offended by the language around adoption, which hasn't been used in over 20 years ("gave the baby away"). I also find the writing cliched and uninteresting. There is nothing new fresh and here. Don't bother.
Good follow up to "Stranger in Paradise".......2005-10-24
This is the second book in the Carson Springs trilogy. Former fallen nun and now divorced, Gerry Fitzgerald suddenly has a desire to find the daughter that she gave away 28 years earlier now that her friend Sam is with child. She has continued to work at the convent in the beekeeping operation (hence the title), and is having an affair with the local celebrity conductor, Aubrey.
Claire Brewster knows that she was adopted, but did not want to disappoint her adoptive parents by looking into her adoption, until a call from Gerry changes her life. Claire has always done what is expected of her, including going to law school, despite not having a desire to practice the law. Her childhood sweetheart is her fiancé, though they have never gotten around to setting a date.
She meets Gerry and her half siblings, then returns to the SF Bay Area, but continues to think about the town of Carson Springs. A few months later, Claire decides to relocate for a little while to get to know them and pursue her passion - opening a tea shop. When she purchases a fixer upper, and gets closer and closer to her handyman, her relationship with her fiancé takes a back burner. And she forages a friendship with her birth mother.
Despite a couple of continuity flaws that should have been caught in the editing process, (Alice is mentioned as Sam's oldest daughter in one paragraph, then a few pages later, she is the youngest; Ian is listed as being 15 years Sam's junior - Sam is 48 and Ian is 31), it stands alone as a pretty good story. There were a few too many plots going on all at once though - and a few too many characters that did not bring anything to the storyline.
The Pain of Adoption is Obvious In This Story.......2003-09-22
With carson Springs still reeling from Samantha Kiley's romance with a younger man, her best friend, Gerry Fitzgerald, fires up the town with another sensational scandal. The child Gerry put up for adoption twenty-eight years ago-and kept a painful secret from her family, has come back into her life. But not without a lot of bitterness attached.
Claire Brewster is a successful attorney engaged to her childhood sweetheart. She hurt her parents feelings when she chose to find her biological mother and family, most of whom do not welcome Claire into their fold.
A bittersweet tale, and I enjoyed this book. As you read, you could feel the pain of rejection and all the hurt it brings to a child who is rejected by their natural family.
Pretty Damn Good.......2003-08-26
This was the first book I have ever read from this author and I was pleasantly surprised how much I loved it. I generally have a few authors I read on a consistant basis and I generally do not stray from them, but I picked this one up out of the blue one day and I am happy for it. It is well worth the money and time to read this book. I am now searching for the other books in this series.. Thank you Eileen....
I Love Carson Springs.......2002-12-14
Eileen Goudge has captured me with this trilogy. Carson Springs is a place that I would want to live. In this second installment, the story focuses on Gerry Fitzgerald and her family. It is a wonderful story of a mother meeting her daughter that was given up for adoption, the struggle to help her children understand, and of a woman wrestling with the idea of falling in love again. The characters from the first book are all present. The story picks up right where Stranger in Paradise left off. I can't wait for the third book.

Already noted for a book on his subject's art (The Music of Stravinsky), Stephen Walsh is equally illuminating about Igor Stravinsky's turbulent life. This first installment of a projected two-volume work covers the years 1882 to 1934, during which time Walsh shows the composer creating many of his famous works, most notably The Rite of Spring, whose riotous 1913 premiere announced the arrival of a boldly modern classical music. He follows Stravinsky from his native Russia to Switzerland and France, as well as a 10-week tour of America in 1925. Delving into Russian-language documents seldom consulted by Western scholars, Walsh corrects many factual errors and, more importantly, makes evident the importance of Stravinsky's Russian roots and musical training, which the composer himself often downplayed in later years in order to "cultivate the image of the 'synthetic' international master." He's similarly judicious in evaluating Stravinsky's stormy 20-year association with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes and his seldom-adept juggling of a long-suffering wife and a more sophisticated mistress. Candid about his distaste for some of Stravinsky's behavior and character traits, Walsh never seems nasty: "It is the richest personalities," he reminds us, "who engage us most fully." --Wendy Smith
Book Description
Widely regarded as the greatest composer of the twentieth century, Igor Stravinsky was central to the development of modernism in art, yet no dependable biography of him exists. Previous studies have drawn too heavily from his own unreliable memoirs and conversations, and until now no biographer has possessed both the musical knowledge to evaluate his art and the linguistic proficiency needed to explore the documentary background of his life--a life whose span extended from tsarist Russia to Switzerland, France, and ultimately the United States.
In this revealing volume, the first of two, Stephen Walsh follows Stravinsky from his birth in 1882 to 1934. He traces the composer's early Russian years, laying bare the complicated relationships within his family and showing how he first displayed his extraordinary talents. Stravinsky's brilliantly creative involvement with the Ballets Russes is illuminated by a sharp sense of the internal artistic politics that animated the group. Portraying Stravinsky's circumstances as an emigré in France trying to make his living as a conductor and pianist as well as a composer, Walsh reveals the true roots of his notorious obsession with money. He also describes the nature of his long affair with Vera Sudeykina.
While always respecting Stravinsky's own insistence that life and art be kept distinct, Stravinsky makes clear precisely how the development of his music was connected to his life and to the intellectual environment in which he found himself. But at the same time it demonstrates the composer's remarkably pragmatic psychology, which led him to consider the welfare of his art to be of paramount importance, before which everything else had to give way. Walsh, long established as an expert on Stravinsky's music, has drawn upon a vast array of material, much of it unpublished or unavailable in English, to bring the man himself, in all his color and genius, to glowing life.
Customer Reviews:
At last - the definitive Stravinsky.......2007-02-22
Stephen Walsh has done a job of research that boggles the mind. Revelations on every page about an elusive composer who projected so many personas and opinions he seemed almost a chameleon. Can't wait for Volume two.
A fascinating new biography.......2000-12-08
This major British musicologist has produced the most significant piece of work on Igor Stravinsky to date. It has changed our views of the man and his work as well of some of his associates. When will the final volume appear?
A revealing biography of a brilliant composer........2000-02-04
Stravinsky was a fine composer who contributed to the development of modernism in art, but little about his personal life reveals his background. This biographical sketch evaluates both his music and his art, examining his contributions with a critical eye to revealing how his past influenced his creations and eventually his world. An excellent, in-depth critical profile evolves.
Book Description
The Rite of Spring is Stravinsky's most revolutionary work. This comprehensive guide tells in vivid detail the story of its inception and composition, of the stormy rehearsals that led to the scandalous premiere in 1913, and of Stravinsky's later betrayal of the ballet's first choreographer, Nijinsky. Peter Hill probes beneath the surface of the music to reveal an architectural conception of unsuspected guile and subtlety. He provides a detailed discussion of the work in performance and a hard-hitting conclusion, which poses a radical challenge to the orthodox view of the work.
Book Description
Forte here applies his analytical approach as set forth in The Structure of Atonal Music to one of the monuments of modern music. Together the introduction and the analysis, with its more than 100 musical examples, both illuminate the structure of the work and demonstrate the way in which Forte's method may be applied in the analysis of complex music. "[This study] is welcome and long overdue.. The influence of Allen Forte on contemporary music theory has been enormous, and The Harmonic Organization of "The Rite of Spring" has importance for a number of serious musicians, particularly, for disciples and others interested in set-theoretic approach, and for those interested in Stravinsky's work..Seeing the theory applied consistently to a specific work can show if it provides any true illumination of the work..This study should not be ignored."-Frank Retzel, Notes

Exactly what I expected.......2007-06-29
Prompt delivery from Amazon. If you want to be introduced with a new way to analyze more atonal music, such as The Rite, this is a great buy. No regrets on my part whatsoever!
Book Description
This edition brings together - for the first time - the three early ballets of Igor Stravinsky in versions for solo piano. Intended as both virtuoso performance pieces as well as study aids for musicians, they have been carefully proofread against the orchestral scores to insure that they agree in detail. Pretrushka contains all of the music in the original 1911 version, The Firebird is a transcription of the full-length 1910 ballet and The Rite of Spring is presented in a revised form of the well-known Leyetchkiss transcription.
Customer Reviews:
Quite a find!.......2004-06-17
I was very excited when I found this and even more excited when it arrived. And for good reason. I have loved Rite of Spring since I first heard it, and having listened to a recording repeatedly, I have been itching to try it out on the piano. This edition includes COMPLETE transcriptions of Firebird, Petrushka, and Rite of Spring, and the score is perfect for following along with the orchestral music since you can easily see the chords and melody. Believe me, it's much easier than trying to follow along with the mega-complex orchestral score of Rite of Spring. The difficulty level varies greatly within each of the ballets; there are extremely easy parts and extremely difficult parts. Good sight-reading ability is very helpful in all three, but particularly in Rite of Spring. And yes, the RoS transcription is the most difficult in the book; however, I get around a lot of the difficulties by cheating... you know, omitting a few notes here and there... ; )
