$29.99
A cornerstone anthology for studying Western classical music from the Romantic era to today.
The Norton Scores, Vol. 2 (Eleventh Edition) brings together full and carefully edited orchestral and chamber scores spanning Schubert through contemporary composers (opera, jazz-influenced works, electronic music, and more). Designed for students, performers, and listeners, this volume features a unique highlighting system for easy score following, stylistic and contextual commentary for each piece, performance‑practice notes, and freshly set, highly readable engravings.
Extras include foreign‑language text translations, CD/track number cross‑references to The Norton Recordings, and extensive appendices: how to read a musical score, instrumental names and abbreviations, a glossary, concordance tables, and an index of forms and genres. The contents range from Schubert, Chopin, Liszt, Berlioz, Verdi, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Debussy, Ravel, Stravinsky, and Bartók to Gershwin, Copland, Bernstein, Cage, Reich, Adams, and more—ideal for music history courses, score study, and guided listening.
If you’re looking for a comprehensive, classroom-standard anthology that pairs with widely used Norton listening resources, this is the volume to have on your stand.
