Cosi fan Tutte in Full Score

Summary: Beautiful reprint of an excellent "Cosi" edition
Review: This Dover edition reprints the 1941 C.F. Peters full score of "Cosi" edited by Georg Schuenemann and Kurt Soldan, in a large clear format. The score itself is beautifully engraved and Dover has helpfully translated the editors' commentary at the end of the score, which notes deviations from Mozart's autograph and supplements from other early ms. sources. There is also a running German translation of the words to the opera along with the original Italian (the German is probably immaterial to most users today, but given the original publication date and origin of the edition, it is quite understandable why it was included by the editors). Anyone who loves this opera will undoubtedly find this a valuable and useful score to have.
