Salieri, Antonio Prima la musica e poi le parole Divertimento teatrale in one act Details Edition no.: BA 8811-90 ISMN: 9790006542826 Editor: Betzwieser, Thomas / La Salvia, Adrian Arranger: Müller, Karl-Heinz / Schellevis, Hans Language(s) of work: German, Italian Language(s) of text: German, English Product format: Piano reduction, Urtext edition Comments: Replaces BA 7698-90 Binding: Paperback Pages / Format: XVI, 199 S. - 27,0 x 19,0 cm A memorable musical competition commissioned by the emperor Joseph II took place on 7 February 1786 as part of a festival in the orangery of the Schönbrunn palace. The Italian court singers and musicians performed Mozart?s Schauspieldirektor whilst Antonio Salieri?s Prima la musica e poi le parole was performed by a German Singspiel ensemble. This charming opera satire belongs to the genre of ?metamelodrama? in which the opera itself becomes the subject of the action. The people who are part of an opera production, for example the writer, composer and prima donna, appear as characters on the stage and are presented in a humorous mirror image. In this ?theatre about theatre? Salieri parodies the music from Giuseppe Sarti?s Giulio Sabino in his insert arias, thus playing on the music which was totally familiar with the audience of that time. By reflecting on the musical-dramatic style of that time and discussing whether ?the word? or ?the music? should take priority, this masterpiece is considered to be a forerunner to Richard Strauss?s Capriccio. This new edition of the score is published as part of OPERA ? Spectrum of European Music Theatre in Separate Editions. There are several alterations regarding the libretto text, stage directions, articulation, ornamentation, etc. which have been incorporated into the newly engraved vocal score.

Vocal Score. Par ROSSINI GIOACHINO. In the days just before the Christmas of 1816, Rossini was still looking for the subject and the libretto for an opera that he was contractually obliged to stage at the Teatro Valle in Rome in just over a month's time. Jacopo Ferretti proposed a libretto he had himself written based on the famous fairytale by Perrault, Cinderella. Rossini composed the opera in less than a month, completing it on the 24th January 1817, the day before its public debut. Removed from its original fairytale context, Ferretti and Rossini's La Cenerentola is a comedy with some credible situations, where comedy and sentiment come together brilliantly. The opera was a fantastic hit rightfrom the start and is still one of the composer's absolute masterpieces! This is the Vocal Score of Rossini and Ferretti's famous collaboration, La Cenerentola./ Répertoire / Chant et Piano
