The unique system of highlighting employed in this book enables students to follow full orchestral scores after about one hour of instruction. This system also has the advantage of permitting students who can read music to perceive every aspect of the score. It is felt that our system of highlighting will be of greater pedagogical value than artificially condensed scores, which restrict the student's vision to pre-selected elements of the music. The use of scores in introductory courses makes the student's listening experience more intense and meaningful, and permits the instructor to discuss music in greater depth."
The works included in the Expanded Edition have been chosen from among those most frequently studied in introductory courses. The selections range from the fourteenth century up to the middle of the twentieth, andrepresent a wide variety of forms, genres, and performing media. More than half of the pieces are given in their entirety, while the others are represented by complete movements or sections that are particularly suitable for classroom study. Scenes from operas and some choral works are presented in vocal score, while all others are reprinted in their full original form. this anthology may be used independently, or along with any introductory text.
