This was the book more fantastic that I had read!!!!! This tell us about how a soul fell itself when your love is not recompensed. It makes a psycological interpretation of your mind in these so sad and difficult situation. It is a sensitive book for sensitive people!

This is not a reprint, but a new translation by acclaimed translator and author Tiina Nunnally of arguably the finest novel ever to come out of Scandinavia. It had a huge influence on European writers, especially in Germany, where teenage boys would carry around a Danish dictionary in the vain hope of reading Jacobsen in the original, according to Stefan Zweig, and where the novel has been translated at least 6 times. Read it and see where Thomas Mann got his ideas for "Tonio Kröger." Jacobsen, who was a botanist as well as the translator of Darwin into Danish, fills the novel with flowers and plants, and he knows whereof he speaks. Dive headlong into this examination of creativity vs. lethargy, atheism vs. faith, and the seemingly infinite ability of the hero to misunderstand women!

I can see why Jacobsen was Rilke's favorite author. These stories are lapidary prose of the highest order -- each word was carefully chosen to produce the precise effect the author wanted, and it works. Travel with Jacobsen to the fogbound Danish coast of Jutland, the imposing Papal city of Avignon, or, in one of the masterpieces of the short story form, the medieval Italian city of Bergamo. The title novella, "Mogens," is the perfect warmup before diving into Jacobsen's amazing Bildungsroman, Niels Lyhne. Enjoy bathing your mind in the words of a master.

I received this score this morning and was completly in shock at what a disgrace Dover had published. Please note, I am a very pleased fan of what this company has produced, but I feel that this score is one of the worst that I have seen. Schoenberg's Gurrelieder is know for its use of one of the largest late-romantic orchestras ever required. Unfortunatly Dover has provided the public with a score that lacks any of Schoenberg's orchestration and has printed a piano reduction done some years later by Schoenberg's pupil, Alban Berg. To publish a piece like this in a piano for before a publication of Schoenberg's original. This would be a great addition to the Dover Miniature Score series ALONG with the orchestral version.

It is a great piano reduction of one of my favorite pieces. I bought it in the official edition (much more expansive...). As one reviwer mentionned, this is not the orchestral score. But for most of us, it will do as well.

This a facsimile of the standard piano reduction of an early Schoenberg work. The Gurre Lieder epitomize the post-Wagnerian genre but also introduce a lot of Schoenberg future techniques (e.g., "Sprachgesang").

The piano reduction makes it easy to follow this rather complex score (the Conductor or the study version of the scores is very rewarding but challenging). The piano reduction itrseld has been done by Alban Berg a marvelous musicien himself and a friend and student of Schoenberg. So the reduction is outstandingly well done and in particular all the important harmonic information is very clear. More than a piano reduction, this vocal score is an abtraction of this suberp score.

If you love the piece, you may also want to have the complete score. Even if you have the conductor score and love it, this version will add to your understanding of the piece.
