Here in one volume are all of Mendelssohn's major orchestral works in
full score: the complete Midsummer Night's Dream -- Overture and
Incidental Music, plus all the play cues and all the melodramas -- more
than has ever been recorded; The Hebrides Overture, or Fingal's Cave,
Op. 26; its pendant, the Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage Overture, Op.
27; Symphony No. 3 in A (Scottish), Op. 56; and Symphony No. 4 in A
(Italian), Op. 90. These are the most performed orchestral works and are
usually considered Mendelssohn's finest.
This sturdy edition has been reproduced from selected volumes of the
Breitkopt & Härtel Complete Works edition, edited by Julius Rietz.
Noteheads are large and clear, and wide margins and ample staves offer
space for written notes, analysis, and more.
