"The Norton Scores is an anthology of music designed for the listener, and the selection of music in this extended two-volume edition ranges from the fourteenth century to the twentieth, including complete works and excerpts that illustrate the major forms, genres, and composers.
The use of a unique highlighting system greatly facilitates the following full orchestral scores for the novice score-reader, without obscuring any of the important subordinate lines and accompaniments. Rather than presenting "pre-digested" scores, The Norton Scores provides valuable experience in following the "real thing". -- Book Cover.
