Summary of This Score
Dramma per musica in tre atti is offered here in the form of a piano vocal reduction (vocal score) in an Urtext edition, a format particularly appreciated by singers, vocal coaches, and répétiteurs for preparing an opera production. The reduction allows working on the harmonic structure, rhythmic accents, and balance of vocal lines while maintaining an overall view of the musical dramaturgy.
The volume opens with a preliminary section structured to facilitate navigation and preparation: Besetzung / Ensemble, followed by a Vorwort and a Preface, then a Verzeichnis der Szenen / Index of Scenes. This bilingual presentation is valuable for situating the work, quickly locating entrances, and organizing work by scenes or numbers as needed (singing lessons, role coaching, choir rehearsals).
The score then includes the Overture, followed by Atto Primo, Atto Secondo, and Atto Terzo, before an Anhang / Appendix. The announced forces highlight a substantial vocal cast (2 soprano soloists, soprano or tenor soloist, 3 tenor soloists, bass soloist) and a mixed choir, supported by a full orchestra: piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets in B flat, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, timpani, strings, and basso continuo. Even in piano reduction, these instrumentation details remain essential for understanding the colors, anticipating breaths, and working on the musical intention with precision.
