About

An off-print of OUP's conductor's score (available on hire), this study score is based on Mussorgsky's [Musorgsky's] original autograph rather than the famous arrangement by Rimsky-Korsakov. It combines the scholarship of the conductor's edition with the practical benefits of a study score format.

Reviews

Musorgsky's newly-revealed orchestration is striking (including four trombones but no tuba, and three timpani tuned a semitone apart) and is indeed, as described among the 68 textual notes, 'bizarre even by Musorgsky's standards'. OUP's score is priceless both historically and as A-B comparison material with the traditional version
