I'll state the obvious: when skipping tracks there is a designated start spot so that a listener with good recall can simply skip through all the tracks and quickly allow them to start, memorize the motif/volume/instrumentation and skip to the next track. The long wandering sections which are so beastly on real drop the needle exams won't be found. Perhaps making a tape isn't such a bad idea.
I've got links to the Grout & Norton scores & recordings on my site- yes it does add up but if used for classes it should take care of more than one semester and provide a wide range of listening. There are always some classes that are expensive- can you imagine if you couldn't find all the scores together and had to start buying them individually!? The same goes for the recordings. It might sound farfetched to those of us spoiled but I took a poetry class which was fairly new so there was no real anthology- we had to buy stacks of poetry books for 2-4 poems from them.
