Oper in 3 Akten aus dem mährischen Bauernleben. Par JANACEK LEOS. With his third opera Jenufa Leoš Janácek succeeded in making his breakthrough as an operatic composer. Since the premiere of this moving story about the fate of the sexton and her stepdaughter Jenufa at the Brno National Theatre in 1904, it has become one of the composer's most frequently performed works. Janácek was the first to succeed in transforming everyday speech directly into music. His method of using speech-melodic motives is clearly distinctive. It is known that the composer preserved everyday conversations in the form of little musical sketches: 'Jotting down genuine speech melody is, as it were, music's life class,' he said./ Répertoire / Opéra

Cavalli, Francesco La Calisto Dramma per musica in three acts Urtext from Francesco Cavalli - Opere Edition no. TP 891 ISMN 9790006205356 'La Calisto' received its first performance in Venice in 1651 but only really achieved its breakthrough in the 20th century. It is one of Cavalli's most frequently-performed operas today. The reason for this success may have been the late acknowledgement of its masterly dramatic and musical structure. The musical text is not presented in the usual small study score format, but in the vocal score format (19 x 27 cm). This results in an optimal and well-presented layout of the work. The study score is ideal for analysis as well as for rehearsing the vocal parts. - Reduced-size full score based on the first volume of the new Bärenreiter series, 'Francesco Cavalli ' Opere' - Reflects the latest state of research - Foreword (Eng) by the editor - English translation of the libretto included separately (not singable) - Practical for study and rehearsing the vocal parts
