This is my favorite Chamber of Horrors book. It is about 6 teenagers who are trying out their new haunted house game. Then they figured out that it is more then just a game. Evil spirits from another dimension are trying to enter their world, using the game as a gate. Now Travis, Tansy and their friends are playing for their lives.

This book was a real page turner, and I finished it in one sitting. Bruce Coville is a great author, and this is another display of his brilliant writing. There are some predictable parts in the story, but there are also many great twists. I finished the book wishing for more.

This book is the best book I read as a young man.I couldn't put it down until I found out what happend next.I'd recomend it too anyone.

This is the definitely the edition to buy if you're studying/playing either of these two quartets. It's a reprint of the Durand edition, so it's about as official as you can get. and CHEAP, too! It's a nice small size- sort of halfway between a normal paperback book and a standard big Dover score.

Good to get the Debussy/Ravel String Quartet Cd, Emerson of coarse, and this handy book.
Good for composition to study and easy to open.
Go for it~!

Wow! The 1940's must have been an exciting time to be a jazz musician with Dizzy and Bird innovating wherever they went. Early on are the influences of Pres (Lester Young), Coleman Hawkins, and Charlie Christian and countless other. The comradeship and competition at Milton's and Monroe's clubs, on 52nd street or after hours at apartments such as Mary Lou Williams was a very fertile environment. Not many could keep up with Bird, and they acknowledge that some of the cuts were to keep lesser talented musicians from sitting in. Gitler weaves these interviews together so skillfully that at times in seems the musicians are talking to each other.

The stories on the road are often funny, but also sad; segregation, discrimination, and drug use. Some musicians emulated Charlie Parker's drug use so they could "play like bird". Gitler begs the question with the statement "in spite of (or because?) (of the drugs) ... a great music was made". As an aside, what other index can you find reference to both Nietzsche and Alan Greenspan?

This fascinating book presents an oral history of the evolution from the structures of Swing to the innovations of bebop, as it developed through night-long jam sessions, the mentoring of musicians such as Dizzy Gillespie, and the classic recordings of Gillespie, Bird, Monk, Powell, et al.

While Gitler describes what is unique about bop, he also shows how its seeds can be found in the much earlier work of jazz musicians, most notably Lester Young's solos within the pared-down arrangements of the Count Basie band.

All of this is done through interview transcriptions with such jazz giants as Dizzy Gillespie, Gerry Mulligan, Zoot Sims, Al Cohn, Jay McShann, Dexter Gordon, and many more. They furnish insights into and first-person accounts of bop's development, along with a collection of anecdotes variously hilarious and poignant. The oral history reads easily, partly because Gitler wisely leaves enough room for each musician to speak, and because he links the narratives together with brief but helpful comments.

An excellent book for either the student of jazz or the casual reader; "Swing to Bop" is a revealing account of the musicians' culture and the improvisations on a form that coalesced into bop. With 12 pages of photographs and a useful index.

This is a must for those wishing to study and understand Mahler's Immense third symphony. The print is very large and readable. Though I wish there were more translations for the German text, there is enough in the parts themselves to take a guess. Mahler's 4th is a charming piece. I love it for it's sincerity and modesty. Being the shortest and "simplestic" orchestration, it makes a great introductory Mahler symphony.

The score is very durable and is large and easy to read. The price is wonderful -- for the starving music student, particularly!

I highly reccommend this score to professionals and those adventurous listers out there.

Listening to Mahler's 3rd symphony is an inexorable experience. Reading the score while listening is ecstatic. It adds a lot to the enjoyment of the music if you have a copy of the score in hand. You can relate another sensory organ to the music, elevating the experience to greater heights.

Before I had the score, all I knew was there were several French horns playing the opening call in the 3rd (M3) but I know now that there are exactly 8 horns playing in unison. Like Aaron Copland said in his book 'What to Listen for in Music', "If there exists a more noble sound than eight horns singing a melody fortissimo in unison, I have never heard it". I think he's referring to M3's opening horn call. Magnificent! And now with the score in hand, I know exactly how the music was put on the score by Mahler, it's notation, expressive remarks, etc.

In some books that I read or even in the liner books that comes with the CDs, there is often reference to the measures in the music. Without the score, you will never know which measure that they are talking about. If you're really a Mahler fan, or for that matter, if you are really into a certain piece of music, buy the score. Believe me, it will add to your enjoyment.

However, some of you may think that it's a waste of time since you do not know how to read music. Yes, knowing how to read music will help a lot buy hey! reading music is not difficult to learn. All you need is to have the passion for music inside you and the passion to explore the music. If you have this, there's nothing that can be in your way.

The Dover series of scores are mostly reliable. Commercially, they are the best there is.

These scores (as well as those of the other symphonies) are worth having. Serious students of music can take invaluable lessons from Beethoven's knowledge of counterpoint, orchestration, dynamics, melody, harmony, and form. Additionally these are great listening aids, pointing out "Nebenstimmen" ("secondary voices") that might not be noticed at first listen. This way one can learn to enjoy Beethoven (and other music) as many melodies intertwining into a larger fabric.

This edition of the first four symphonies followed me through my conservatory training, including some extremely frightening conducting lessons in front of a bored orchestra. There are no errors in the score that I have ever found, and the music is clear and easy to read. The best edition of a necessary score for any orchestral musician.

A very easy to read and comprehensive score to Mozart's middle symphonies. It's durable and the print is large (9x12). It lays flat for study or enjoyment. It's a must for both professionals, students, and listeners.

There isn't much to say about a score, except that Dover consistently does them perfectly. And Mozart's Symphonies Nos. 22 - 34 is no exception: the user-friendly format and legible music make for the highest quality score available today. If you want to see some of Mozart's greatest symphonies in their purest forms, do not delay in purchasing this one. You cannot go wrong with Dover.

This darling story just thrills my pre-schoolers every time we read it! Tiny the Bee is such an overcomer - and he doesn't let being small keep him from doing something big. We love this book and read it often!

Tiny The Bee is the charming story of a little bee who encounters many obstacles in his struggle to grow up. It is through his many adventures that Tiny learns about friendship, patience, perseverance, honor, loyalty, compassion, and tolerance. Brightly illustrated in full color by Lynne Chambers, and highly recommended for family and church Sunday School library collections for young readers ages 4 to 8, Tiny The Bee was authored Kelli Chambers when she was 12 years old.

A great score, with no errors and very large, readable print. Great companion for listeners, music students, and conductors alike.

The score is very large (9 3/8 x 12 1/4) and lays flat on a stand or table. Highly reccommended!

Richard Strauss knew how to make symphonic music with great drama as well as humour. The three grand symphonic masterpieces of this edition just has it all. Dare I say that some of the music in Tod Und Verklarung is some of the most beautiful and heartbreaking music ever written? And how about the great humor revealed in Don Quixote? Richard Strauss truly is a master of the orchestra. If you don't believe me, have a look yourself. It just hardly get any better than this. Thank you Dover for this excellent book!

After 10+ years in "the program" and focusing on the 3rd and 11th steps, I needed to know "the power" better. Two Tracks One Goal is like a revelation! The "connecting of the dots" shows me that I've been a part of the Lord's PLAN all along! Praise God! Dr. Chambers (at first, I had resentments... "what could HE know he wasn't an alcoholic!")does an anointed mission to spell out very clearly how AA relates to the larger issues of wholeness, healing, recovery, and health through the Will of God. Thank you Dr. Chambers, may your eternal rewards be great. This book has helped me tremendously.

In the Church world, many have wondered if Alcoholics Anonymous is in competition with its teachings. Some have even gone so far as to call it a "cult."

Dr. Chambers has written one of the best apologetics for the Christian use of the 12 Step approach available today.

He clearly explains the roots of the fellowship and describes how the two tracks have the one goal of spiritual growth and wholeness.

Judson Ingalls' trial keeps you in suspense throughout the novel, leaving one to wonder to the very end whether he actually killed his wife or not. While still suspecting his daughter may have had some involvement. The romance between the lawyer and D.A. kept everyone on the edge of their seats....for an excellent ending to an overcharge, extremely emotional novel.

This book has a good story line that ties in well with the others in this series. There is very good character continuity considering that the books are written by several different authors. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series to find out how it all wraps up.
