Barenreiter
's publication of a new
volume of theWorks of
Gioachino Rossini, in
collaboration with the
Center for Italian Opera
Studies at the University
of Chicago, makes
available an edition of
the operaIl barbiere di
Sivigliawhich meets
modern demands. The
editors have recently
identified numerous
carelessly edited places
in the last critical
edition by referring to
additional sources. The
greatest changes relate
to the overture; for the
new edition, no fewer
than twenty different
autograph manuscripts
have been consulted.
A detailed appendix
containing alternative
vocal parts, advice on
ornamentation and
compositions by Rossini
significant in the
performance history of
the opera complete the
volume.
A
420-page Critical
Commentary is published
separately. With this, a
critical edition is now
available to
interpreters, enabling
them to perform Rossini's
,,Barber of Sevillewith
the greatest possible
confidence in the
accuracy of the musical
material. The performance
material is available on
hire, and a vocal score
will be published at the
end of 2009.
Through 1829 Rossini was
an extraordinarily
prolific composer of
operas, comic, serious,
and semiserious, in
Italian and French, as
well as of a great deal
of vocal and instrumental
music. He composed sacred
music, vocal treatises,
cantatas. Then, for many
different reasons, he
wrote very little music
for more than twentyfive
years, if we except some
songs and the ' Stabat
Mater' . Only after he
left Italy definitively
for Paris in 1855 did he
find his voice again.
Between 1857 and
1868 a fresh group of
masterpieces issued from
his pen, the so-called '
Peches de vieillesse'
(Sins of Old Age),
including chamber music,
songs, and the 'Petite
Messe Solennelle'.
