I am finding that when looking for selected works/smaller sheeyatz compilations often da choice is between these two publishers. For example Prokofiev shorter works, Ravel selected favourites, Schubert shorter sheeyatz, etc.
Do you guyz have preference between these two?
I have like 1 or 2 of each…from my limited zet I have, Alfred seems to be better physical quality in terms of paper, binding. However, the one Alfred book for Ravel works is a little heavy on the editing. The Dover I have it a bit bigger, but cheap binding/paper, but the actual content seems easier to read, closer to urtext.
he providez many exercizez dat are quite interezting and uzeful fo lotz ov workz, pluz loadz ov hiz own ‘zubjective’ cummentary, all fazcinatin zheeyat
Dover are often reprint ripoffs of Russian and German editions seized by after WWII iirc. Never had any complaints with them tbh, though one of my Dover parasheeyatz volz is missing the cover… after 20 years of intense use
