The Magic Flute Vocal Score

Summary: Singing it
Review: Beautifull music for Sopran (Pamina and Queen of the night) and for Bariton (Papageno). (Also Tenor (Tamino) and Bas (Sarastro))
The book has all the highlights from the opera, clearly writen for Piano and Vocals. Some bits are easier, some harder, but the music is superb!

Summary: Why is Italian given as the primary text?
Review: The notes are clear and easy to read, but the font for the text is quite small, and to make matters worse, this edition (Dover Vocal Scores) gives Italian as the primary language (immediatly below the notes). The German text is in italics *under* the Italian. If you buy this edition, you're going to need an English copy of the libretto - all the text (lyrics, stage directions, and unsung diologue) are given in German and Italian.

Summary: Magical!
Review: This is a great piano reduction of the score. Most of the songs are not overly difficult to play, and they are written in the original keys. I like to play along on the piano as I listen to the music on the CD! This one comes highly recommended.
