Drawing the reader into his creative world, this study (translated from the French original by the author himself) begins where Verdi began when it came time to set notes to paper: the libretto. Designed for the non-Italophone reader, Steven Huebner's Verdi and the Art of Italian Opera explains key principles of Italian poetry that shaped his music. From there, Huebner outlines the various musical textures available to the composer, including an exploration of the characteristics of recitative and aria. Working outward, subsequent chapters explore the syntax of Verdi's melodic writing and the larger-level forms that he used. A concluding chapter considers ways of conceiving musical unity in his operas. Huebner's long-needed study provides significant insights into Verdi's musico-dramatic strategies, pulling together-and making more easily accessible-principles and insights that are spread widely across the scholarly literature. Verdi remains by far the most performed opera composer on world stages today: singers, vocal coaches, stage directors, and opera lovers more generally will welcome this compact perspective on his art"--Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Verdi, Giuseppe, $d 1813-1901. $t Operas. 600 10 $a Verdi, Giuseppe, $d 1813-1901 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Verdi, Giuseppe, $d 1813-1901 $2 fast 630 07 $a Operas (Verdi, Giuseppe) $2 fast 650 0 $a Opera $z Italy $y 19th century. 650 6 $a Opera $z Italie $y 19e siecle. 650 7 $a Opera $2 fast 651 7 $a Italy $2 fast 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Huebner, Steven. $t Verdi and the art of Italian opera $d Rochester : The University of Rochester Press, 2023 $z 9781800108929 $w (DLC) 2023026938 830 0 $a Eastman studies in music 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240417024246.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9CD7FF46FC8011EE9ABF7B513DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
