Der Ritt der Walkuren

by Richard Wagner, Stewart Spencer, Barry Millington

A landmark in the history of opera, Die Walküre is the most popular and most frequently performed opera among those that make up the Ring Cycle. It contains some of Wagner's best-known and memorable music and stands alone as a complete work. This present edition reproduces the full orchestral and vocal score in a clear, modern engraving with large, legible notation for easy reading and study. Do not confuse this with a piano rendering; it is the full orchestral score -- nothing has been left out. Perfect for study, this score is also indispensable for anyone listening to record sets or broadcasts. In no other manner can the listener keep full awareness of the orchestral richness of this opera. - Back cover.
