"A Boon for Strauss Singers" according to Keith Dillon. At last, a Rosenkavelier piano/vocal score that's not only affordable, but a real bargain. This score is a reprint of the Furstner piano reduction that costs three to four times less than the original. Like the full score, this piano/vocal reduction was first edited by Strauss' friend and publisher, Adolf Furstner, in the early 20th century. The score has no English translation, but that's no real problem. The volume is well made, as always, and is easy to read. No Opera singer's library is complete without a copy of the pi. Five Stars Excellent score - great value for money.
