Beethoven Missa Solemnis Op. 123 full score

[furtwaengler]

I was counting on checking a few things, and I'm surprised I can't find this readily available. Just curious if any one has this, full score.

Thanks,

Dave

Only got the piano 4 hands if that is of interest.

Nope, I'm only interested in the full score, but don't worry about it. I've got a copy coming.

it's extremely hard to find ANYTHING in full score. Does anyone know why?

[furtwaengler]

jabbz, I find what I need pretty easily, but I normally buy the full scores or check them out from a library.

Lack of demand, perhaps?  Not too many people besides conductors or perhaps theory students would be interested in a full score of anything.

Good heavens, can you imagine how long it would take to scan the full score of Missa Solemnis?  Who has the time and energy.

Scanning takes a long time, or it does for me.

A 50 page Concerto just took me 4 hours to scan in A3, trim and tidy up in photoshop and convert to pdf.

I reckon on spending 15 - 20 hours a week scanning. It can get rather tiresome.
