The resource is thorough and detailed... It is well laid out, with a logical structure which is easy to navigate... The use of questions requiring reference to the score (i.e. not having musical examples in the text) is good in getting the student to look outside of the resource and think more broadly... The summary sections are also good, in encapsulating each section... The clarity of the resource makes it extremely useful for students. It provides a broad picture, both of the development of the symphony and of this work in particular, and then drills down into greater detail. The exam guidance and questions are good preparation for final assessment... This is an excellent resource.
