The Musical Language of Italian Opera, 1813-1859

Beschreibung

The Musical Language of Italian Opera, 1813-1859 examines operatic music by five Italian composers--Rossini, Bellini, Mercadante, Donizetti, and Verdi--and one non-Italian, Meyerbeer, showing how certain recurring principles define a distinctively Italian practice that left its mark on the German repertoire more familiar to music theorists.
