Product Description Mahler's third symphony, which marked a turning point in his development as a composer, predominantly follows the musical style of his two earlier symphonies. Scored for a massive orchestra, it was conceived as a vast nature cycle in six movements, including the great opening march, the moving setting for alto of Nietzsche's "O Mensch! Gib Acht!" and the scintillating bell song for women's and boys' choirs "Es sungen drei Engel." With this new, affordable miniature-score edition, music lovers, performers, and students can study the orchestral richness of this great music and explore the genius of the composer often regarded as the last great Austrian symphonist. Unabridged republication of the edition published by Universal Edition, Vienna, n.d. New translations of texts. Glossary of German terms. Lists of instruments.

Glasses Please September 4, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I wrote a review of the score of the 9th which is also printed by Dover. The gist is that the score is too small to read easily, especially with a score as thick as the 3rd of Mahler. I found another score of this symphony in my collection and it is much larger. I think it cost me $20 and is worth every cent; study scores are fine if you HAVE to save money, but I will always believe that a score you can read easily is one that will untimately serve you best.
