Verdi's First "Willow Song": New Sketches And Drafts For Otello, Linda B. Fairtile Apr 1996

Verdi's First "Willow Song": New Sketches And Drafts For Otello, Linda B. Fairtile

University Libraries Faculty and Staff Publications

The genesis of Verdi's Otello is a familiar episode in the history of Italian opera. The semiretired composer's reluctance to reenter the operatic fray, his gradual interest in Arrigo Boito's draft libretto, and the astonishing speed with which he composed the music have been the subject of both musicological and biographical study. Letters between librettist and composer detail the textual modifications that Boito made to accommodate Verdi's needs. Up until now, however, we have had few corresponding musical documents readily available to illustrate how Verdi grappled with the challenges of Boito's libretto.

Schoenberg's Moses And Aron; A Logical Succesor To Nineteenth-Century Opera?, Steven Neil Tyler Jan 1985

Schoenberg's Moses And Aron; A Logical Succesor To Nineteenth-Century Opera?, Steven Neil Tyler

Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection

Schoenberg's Moses and Aron has been called the most important product of his musical maturity, implying that many of his theoretical, musical, philosophical, and spiritual ideas, both public and personal, can be found in this unique work.
