Perfection

By A Reviewer - September 2, 2001

One of Rossini's best operas, the Barber of Seville, is immortalized here in another one of Dover's fine scores. From the fast-paced overture to the "Figaro" aria (both made famous in old Bugs Bunny cartoons), this opera is nonstop greatness. As usual, Dover has provided us with a book of the highest quality: they sew their books instead of gluing them so as for them to stay bound and be flexible, and they print legibly. Unfortunately, legible print is becoming disappointingly rare in modern scores, but Dover is the exception.For a great score of a great opera at a great price, you can't go wrong with Rossini's Barber of Seville.

read carefully

I mistook this score for a piano reduction. It is totally my own fault (it says full score on the cover!) but it is the second time I've made this type of mistake on Amazon. (There was another occasion where I mistook a bound libretto for a score.) The descriptions of printed music on Amazon can be less clear than those of a music publisher, so just make sure you are purchasing what you want. I know it was careless of me to make this mistake, but it would be helpful if, for instance, Amazon had listed the Dover full score and piano reduction score next to each other or had placed all available piano reduction scores together, etc. The score itself is nice.

The Barber of Seville, Rossini

By Hermes Camacho "HermesComposer" - March 28, 2002

This is a wonderful study score to Rossini's wonderful masterpiece. The story of a Barber named Figaro, who is the person that everyone comes to seeking advice.
It's easy to read and the size is standard (9in x 12in). It lies easily on a music stand or desk. It's low price is great for the starving music student. I highly reccommend this for professionals and opera-goers alike.
