Published by Boosey & Hawkes circa 1940, each score instructs performers and scholars in the structural clarity, thematic development, and expressive range that define the Western classical canon. The series illustrates the evolution of symphonic and operatic writing, from Mozart’s elegant phrasing to Wagner’s chromatic intensity and Brahms’s architectural depth. Designed for portability and study, these volumes combine editorial precision with historical significance, making them indispensable for conductors, students, and collectors of mid-century music publishing. As a cohesive set, they reflect Boosey & Hawkes’ commitment to accessible scholarship and enduring musical excellence.
