Barenreiter or Dover?

[Torn Mind]

I just want some paper sheet music to scribble in my "enlightened" annotations to some Mozart pieces like concertos songs I've been listening to.

I want sheets with no bullshit but at the same time, I'm not about to enter any concert hall...

So, quality with Barenretier, et al or save the money with Dover?

What's the cost difference? I know nothing about sheet music, but generally, you get what you pay for. If it's something you care about, and you're not wondering how you're gonna feed yourself next week, get the item that's gonna give you the warm fuzzies when you use it.

I'm curious what sort of BS finds its way onto sheet music.

Physical, observed effects from hearing the music. My mind is very bad at fabrication and clings to anything that reality provides.

Basically, 1 Dover edition costs about 5 Barenreiters. I can get 6 Concertos in a Dover edition while the Barenreiter is only for one concerto...or not even that.

Amazon.com

Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 17 in G Major, K. 453

Bärenreiter - This edition contains the solo part and piano reduction inline; two copies are needed for performance.

www.ficksmusic.com

Full Score is $42.50
Study Score is $18.50
All for just one concerto.

And there's also the factor that there is a Mozart edition available online....(but somehow I think I process content in books a little different than 8x11 sheets)

You could also print some, no?

Is there some reason you can't just print it yourself?
