Salome in Full ScoreThe New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians (1980) offers ample reason why the complete score to Strauss's Salome is worthy of study. "It is virtuoso display of the creation of atmospheric colour by instrumental means." There are, of course, other reasons it is enough to say that since opening night (December 9, 1905) it has ranked among the basic works of 20th century music.

The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians (1980) offers ample reason why the complete score to Strauss's Salome is worthy of study. "It is virtuoso display of the creation of atmospheric colour by instrumental means." There are, of course, other reasons -- it is enough to say that since opening night (December 9, 1905) it has ranked among the basic works of 20th-century music.
Salome (after the Oscar Wilde play) was Richard Strauss's first great operatic success, and like many of his works, caused controversy. The problem was that Strauss succeeded too well in capturing what fin-de-si cle decadence was seen in Wilde -- succeeded via an "instrumental inventiveness that is breathtaking" (Grove). The orchestral virtuosity is vividly apparent in the parts for percussion and for certain less commonly used instruments -- heckelphone (here first introduced), xylophone, contrabassoon -- which found their raison de' tre in Salome.
There can be no question that this edition presents the definitive score. It reprints Strauss's own copy, obtained on loan from the vaults of the Eastman School of Music in Rochester -- a large-sized, limited, numbered edition signed by the publisher and very likely the one Strauss used on the conducting podium. For this edition the cast and instrumentation information has been translated into English; with clear notes, wide margins, and durable binding, this inexpensive reprint will serve many years on the podium, music stand, or library shelf, enabling musicians and listeners to discover its beauties (including Salome's famous "Dance of the Seven Veils") for themselves. It is the authoritative way to experience, in the words of one critic, "the most febrile opera or music-drama ever written."

Too flimsy but a crowd pleaser
Color: Spider
My dogs absolutely loved them so I gave it 4 stars but it probably only deserves 3 stars due to how easily these can be destroyed. I have small dogs and they destroyed them very quickly.

Perfect for small dogs!
Color: Spider
These are so cute. My 10 pound Havanese absolutely loves these. They are the perfect size for her. I couldn’t put them away with the Halloween decor because she carries them everywhere. She has one in the bed, one in the car and one for around the house. Very durable and fun for her.

Colorful, Durable, and Totally Adorable! Perfect for Halloween
Color: Bats, Color: Bats
I absolutely love these bats! I’ve bought them multiple times and still adore them… they add such a fun, whimsical touch to my Halloween displays. The colorful wings give them a unique charm you just don’t get with typical black bat props. The quality is impressive too: even after a couple of rainy outdoor seasons, my first two sets are still holding up great. And yes… I know they’re technically dog toys, but my pups already have plenty of playthings… I’m pretty sure they don’t mind!
