Summary:

An original concept: in one volume, a study-size score of a major musical work, and a comprehensive body of tools for the study of that work. Music examples and charts illustrate the analyses, and each essay is fully annotated by the editor. In some cases, the results of original research by the editor or by others working in the field are published here for the first time. Much of the material has never before appeared in English. A selective bibliography guides the student to further material about the work and its composer.
