Description
Mozart composed the Symphony in C Major K.425, known as the "Linz Symphony", within a few days in October/early November 1783 in the palace of Count Johann Joseph Anton von Thun-Hohenstein (1711–1798) in Linz where, together with Constanze, he stayed for three weeks on the way back from a trip to Salzburg. "On Tuesday, the fourth of November", wrote Mozart to his father on 31 October (the day after his arrival in Linz), "I will be giving a concert in the theatre – and since I have no symphony with me, I am writing one as fast as I can, for it must be ready by then". Accordingly, this work was performed for the first time in the theater in Linz on 4 November 1783.
A score for vocalists that only contains the vocal lines. The instrumental parts are not there for reference. Generally, cheaper than a vocal score and requires multiple copies for purchase.
Facsimile of the Autograph
These are hardcover, research-quality reproductions of the original hand-written scores from the composer.
Hardcover
Some publishers print a hardbound, linen-covered version in addition to the standard paperback. The music inside is identical. These editions are beautiful though rarely cheap.
Orchestral Parts
Similar to a wind set, this is a collection of parts. In the case of strings, the numbers listed are the number of copies included, though generally these are available individually (often with minimum quantities required).
Paperback
When publishers offer multiple bindings (e.g. hardcover) or study scores, this is the "standard" version. If you're planning to play the music, this is probably what you want.
Performance / Playing Score
For chamber pieces, playing scores have all of the parts on one system. There are not separate parts for each player.
Score (Full Score)
For ensemble music, this indicates that the edition contains all parts on a single system (there are not separate parts for each player). In larger ensembles, this is for the conductor.
