Thanks, we’ll look into this.
I exported all the movements as separate flows, and it seems the problems are in part one, “Spring Rounds” and “The Dancing Out of the Earth”; and in part two, “Sacrificial Dance.” I’m attaching those flows here, they work in Dorico 4. Some of the string harmonics (artificial harmonics, 5th partial) sound two octaves higher than they should, way up in the stratosphere. When I try entering artificial harmonics in a new score, they seem to work fine.

The flow for “Sacrificial Dance” is too big to attach here (4.8 MB), sorry - but you can download all the flows individually here:
We’re working on this – there’s nothing wrong with the project files themselves. We’ll no doubt have a fix for this in the first Dorico 5.x maintenance update when it arrives.
Thanks! For what it’s worth, the bass harmonics at the beginning of Mystic Circle of the Young Girls are sounding a lot higher than they should, in both Dorico 4 and 5. I thought this might be a NotePerformer 4 issue, but I just tried making some bass harmonics in a new file and they all work.
Stephen,
by the way… in Ritual Action of the Ancestors, page 124, number 135, third bar, the second note of the triolet should have a sharp (i.e. C# instead of C) in Ob.I, Vln.II, Vc.
I have the B&H 1947 score, and there is a C#. The C natural not only sounds bad but is at odd with the other instances of the motive on page 125.
Belated thanks for catching that error, avignani - the Dover score agrees with you as well. Now fixed!
Stupendous accomplishment. Thank you for your generosity in sharing this wonderful score.
Great job.
But, if I may say so, the editions of Le Sacre du Printemps are very complex.
Between the manuscripts used for the premiere in 1913, then the revival at the Théâtre du Châtelet six months later, the first edition of 1917, corrected in 1922 (Editions russes de musique), full of mistakes (more than 800), and the reworking by Stravinsky in 1947, then the corrected edition by Boosey in 1967, it is not easy to make a choice before embarking on such a project.
I can’t remember what the Dover edition is based on ; logically, the reference is given in the first few pages of the score. But, alas, Dover is rarely a reference edition.
I hope I’m not offending you by making this remark. I taught analysis and orchestration for 31 years at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris, so this is an informed opinion.
From September 2020 in this thread -
I’ve tried to correct mistakes as people send them in - please let me know if you find some more, thanks! In the meantime I’ve done a few other Stravinsky scores, including Agon, Requiem Canticles, and movements from Symphony in Three Movements and Symphony of Psalms. Happy to post them if folks are interested.
Very interested.
Jesper
Also interested. Especially in Agon.
Tim
Stephen, seeing this thread spurred me to look in my B&H Masterworks Library edition (based on the 1967 re-engraving) to see if there was anything about corrections listed. Alas, no.
But a quick web search turned up this site, which may be of interest:
For Agon, Requiem Canticles, and so on, beware that these works are not yet in the public domain, either in the USA or in Europe.
In the eyes of the law, any copy constitutes an infringement.
You can always have fun copying them for your own use, but logically you can’t distribute them freely on this forum.
Good point - folks, please just message me here on the forum if you’re interested in these Dorico projects.
I must come specifically to express my gratitude for your selfless sharing! By comparing your project, I have solved many problems that have troubled me, which is truly a great teaching achievement that cannot be measured by value! Thank you very much!
