Myrrha's book is a reflection of my past - I was moved by it
Myrrha Bantock, my late Grandmother, lived in my home until her death at 89 years old.She was a talented woman whose creativity and determined nature, both inherent qualities, remained part of her until the end.She had a deep-seated admiration for her father, Granville, something which must have prompted her to write the book.The book is a journey into the life of a family whose life centred around a man whose talent is still recognised. A very personal reading experience. I miss her so.

Cute publication of the Suite
I purchased this score years ago before Dover published the full ballet score, and though I wished I had the full ballet at the time, this sufficed as a convenient set of selections from the ballet that form the Suite. Please, do realize that this is the SUITE and not the full ballet. It does say it in the title, but I've read a few reviews from people upset by the fact that it wasn't the full ballet. The title says "Suite" so please realize this before purchasing this product.

Not Exactly What I Expected
I was slightly disappointed when I received this score. While the contents of the book are exceptional - as is always the case with Dover - and the binding of the book is unusually strong - sewn, not glued - I found it disturbingly thin. Much to my dismay, I discovered that this book did not contain every piece I had expected. Perhaps I am unfamiliar with the exact contents of the "Nutcracker Suite," but all the pieces on my Nutcracker CD were NOT in this score.

99.9% of the time, Dover produces the best score available to the average consumer. This is the .1%. While it might be the best score on the market today, I found that it was not what I had wanted. Don't get me wrong - everything in the book is fantastic - I had just expected more.

Nutcracker Suite a classic.
I thought that this book was moving. It was not the conventinal moving but a more enlightening one.The depth and the detail that the auther goes in to are so rare to find that it is in deed a tribute to a classic.I haveloved the Nutcracker sence I was a baby and this book brought it in to awhole new light. It was simply wonderful. ... Read more
