The price is the same, which makes it difficult to decide which issue is earlier, but the very clear appearance of the pages of the present copy suggests that it was printed from new plates, in which case it would be the first edition of this arrangement. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIt is notable that the edition does not mention the composer, only the arranger (Jean-Frédéric Edelmann), and Gluck's adopted daughter, to whom the arrangement is dedicated. Apparently there was no need to mention the composer because everybody knew. The opera was first performed in Paris on April 19, 1774.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eIphigénie en Aulide\u003c\/em\u003e (Iphigeneia in Aulis) is an opera in three acts, the first work Gluck wrote for the Paris stage. The libretto was written by François-Louis Gand Le Bland Du Roullet and was based on Jean Racine's tragedy \u003cem\u003eIphigénie\u003c\/em\u003e, itself based on the play \u003cem\u003eIphigenia in Aulis\u003c\/em\u003e by Euripides.
