1812 Overture (Op. 49) by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893). For Full Orchestra. Full Orchestra (Full Score). Dover Edition. Masterwork. Published by Dover Publications (AP.6-428567).
ISBN 9780486428567. Masterwork.
Commissioned to mark the 1882 All-Russia Exhibition of Arts and Crafts, this extraordinarily popular work was premiered at the consecration of the Kremlin's Cathedral of the Redeemer--the monument built to commemorate the Russian defeat of the Napoleonic invasion in 1812. A colorful musical tapestry of nationalistic themes and battle scenes, performances of the "1812"--with cannons thundering and bells pealing--have remained an electrifying outdoor event at patriotic concerts worldwide. Unabridged republication of the work originally published by Ernst Eulenburg, Leipzig. Instrumentation. [6 1/8 x 8 1/2, 96.pp].

1812 Overture Actual Score - well done!
I have long looked for an affordable score to Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture," and this proved to be just that. The score is notated just as Tchaikovsky originally penned it (trumpets are Pistons; bassoons are fagotti; etc) with the translations given at the beginning of the score.
