What's in a Henle Study Score?!
Question: Hi, what's the difference between a regular Henle music book and a Henle Study Score? I'm interested in buying the Study Score online because it seems cheaper. However, it does not have a sample page (in Sheet Music Plus, at least). Is it smaller (page size, typesets) than the regular book? I personally prefer a bigger score with less cramped notes in one page. Is it worth buying?

A study score is usually a miniature score and, therefore, quite small. Although it would be fine for study (hence the title) it would not be suitable for use in performance.
Have a look at the Dover Score range. They are often full sized (or nearly so) and offer remarkable value for money.

I saw a reference to these particular scores as "study scores" which are sometimes miniatures as described above but it looks like in this case they're "Urtext" which for study could be a great thing but might not suit your needs. Again the link above should clear up any questions you have.
