Summary of This Score

Prima la musica e poi le parole by Antonio Salieri is a one-act "divertimento teatrale," conceived as an opera satire where opera itself becomes the subject of the action. It features figures from a lyrical production (author, composer, prima donna) staged with humor, in a true "theatre about theatre."

This edition highlights the typical play of musical allusions characteristic of the genre: Salieri notably parodies elements drawn from Giulio Sabinoby Giuseppe Sarti, material immediately recognizable by the audience at the time. The score thus illuminates the aesthetic debate between the primacy of text or music, often considered a precursor milestone to Richard Strauss's Capriccio.

Published in the OPERA - Spectrum of European Music Theatre in Separate Editions series, this new engraving incorporates numerous revisions: adjustments to the libretto, stage directions, articulation, and ornamentation, as well as the integration of appendix numbers related to Sarti's quotations. The whole is offered in a particularly idiomatic piano reduction (vocal score format), adapted for the work of singers, vocal coaches, and accompanying pianists.
