Many of the compositions included in this facsimile, published in collaboration with the Istituto Nazionale di Studi Verdiani, appear here for the first time. From the collection of manuscripts and documents of the Museo Teatrale alla Scala, these extraordinary facsimiles illuminate the youthful compositions of the composer and their connection with Milan, a city where Verdi's artistic and cultural personality was formed and the place where he ended his days. The following works (or portions of works) are included:



Sinfonia (ed. Roberta Marvin)

Tantum ergo, 1837 (ed. Dino Rizzo)

Il trovatore, 1852 (ed. Jesse Rosenberg)

Otello, 1887-1888 (ed. Damien Colas)

Notturno, 1839 (ed. Marco Marica)

Nabucodonosor, 1842 (ed. Roger Parker)

Romanza, 1846 (ed. Emanuele Senici)

Cupo è il Sepolcro e Mutolo, 1843 (ed. Antonio Rostagno)



Each of these titles is independently bound, and introduced by editorial criteria, historical information, transcriptions, sources study and critical notes, both in English and Italian. A remarkable collection, an essential item for any Verdi lover. (3214)
