Borodin started work on his second symphony soon after the 1869 premiere of his first. He worked on it off and on until 1876, putting it aside for another project - misplacing his orchestral scores of the first and last movements in the process. When a performance was scheduled in 1877, Borodin had to re-orchestrate the two movements from his piano-4 hands score. This new score is a digitally-enhanced, corrected reprint of the one first issued in 1946 by Muzgiz. Editors Clinton Nieweg, Nancy Bradburd and Carol Westfall have thoroughly researached the available source material to produce an extremely authoritative score of this renowned favorite of the Russuan master's three symphonies.

Liszt started working on his first foray into the concerto genre as early as 1830, only completing the work in its present form in 1849. He appeared as soloist in the premiere, given at Weimar on Febrary 17, 1855, with the Staatskappelle under the direction of Hector Berlioz. The concerto has been a staple of the repertoire ever since. Just in time for the Liszt bicentennial, this new score is a digitally-enhanced reprint of the one first issued by Breitkopf und Hartel in 1914 as part of the composer's complete works.

Saint-Saëns' masterpiece was originally composed in 1872 as a song for voice and piano.

This newly engraved and edited study score is based on the first edition score and parts and produced in a convenient, easy-to-read size for fireside reading on Halloween nights.

American impressionist composer Charles T. Griffes orchestrated the present piece in 1919 for a ballet performance given in New York. Originally the first of his four Roman Sketches for piano solo, the arrangement makes use of the full palette of orchestral color in a six-minute tone poem. The work has remained in the repertoire of orchestras to this day. The score presented here is a meticulously researched and newly engraved edition by Richard W. Sargeant, Jr.

Vaughan Williams' masterpiece for string orchestra was given its premiere on September 6th, 1910 at the Three Choirs Festival in Gloucester Cathedral with the London Symphony Orchestra under the composer's direction. It was an immediate success, but the composer revised the piece twice (1913 and 1919) before it's first publication in 1921. The Phrygian-mode Tallis melody upon which the work is based originally appeared in Archbishop Parker's Psalter of 1567 with the text "Why fum'th in fight the Gentiles spite." This newly engraved and edited score, based upon the 1921 Curwen score, has a vastly improved layout designed for ease of study and performance.
