1: I concur
I must concur with the other two reviewers - this is not Ravel's original score but rather Ted Ricketts' arrangement for string orchestra, piano and percussion. I must admit I was a little disappointed when it arrived, but I have since checked all over the Internet and cannot find a copy of Ravel's original score anywhere, so I suspect it may be unavailable.
For the time, this will do, but it would be lovely to find a copy of the original Bolero for orchestra.

2: Warning!! Do not buy this - it is not Ravel's score
This is not Ravel's original score. It is only of interest to purchasers of the arrangements of Ted Ricketts. Why on earth is this the only availabe score of Bolero on Amazon?

3: Ravel Lovers Beware!
[...] which would make you think you're getting the original full score of Ravel's Bolero, what you will get is an adaptation for student orchestra (strings, piano and 2 percussion) as arranged in 2003 by Ted Ricketts. As an indication of what to expect from this score, the cover page lists a suggested performance time of 5'10", which--as Bolero lovers know--is far short of the original 13'-16' playing time. This is stapled sheet music without cardboard covers and is of value only to the conductor of a student peformance. Additionally, I had ordered this from Amazon.com on May 21 and it was delivered on August 2.
