About This Item

Posto in Musica da Giuseppe Verdi e per grata memoria dedicato al Suo Amatissimo Suocero Antonio Barezzi. Riduzione per Pianoforte solo di E. Muzio. Ricordi. Milano. [18??]. 

Livro oblongo de 25,6x35,4 cm. Com 135 págs. Encadernação da época em tela com rótulo na pasta anterior com o título da obra e com o nome de Amelia P. Leite gravado a ouro.

A partitura, muito nítida, é gravada em chapa de metal com índice dos números e respectivo número de chapa, com os incipit textuais de cada parte da ópera.

Redução para piano da partitura original da ópera Macbeth, uma obra prima do drama lírico com uma feliz adaptação de uma das mais célebres tragédias de Shakespeare, que foi estreada em de Março de 1847 em Florença.

Obra de excepcional originalidade e grandeza musical, recebeu um acolhimento menos favorável entre o público comum por não possuir cenas de amor e decorrer num ambiente opressivo, mas tornou-se cada vez mais popular durante o século XX depois das exaltantes interpretações da soprano Maria Callas, como Lady Macbeth.

As reduções para piano das partituras para orquestra foram um meio muito importante de estudo e divulgação das obras primas da música, pois permitiam que as óperas fossem tocadas e cantadas nas casas de muitas pessoas que não teriam a possibilidade financeira ou geográfica de assistir às representações das óperas nos teatros líricos das cidades mais importantes.

Giuseppe Verdi (Roncole, 1813 - Milão ,1901) Um dos maiores compositores de ópera de todos os tempos é autor de vinte e oito Óperas, um Requiem, peças de música sacra, peças para piano solo, para canto e piano e música de câmara entre elas um quarteto de cordas. Durante a sua longa carreira de compositor passou por períodos de maturação e reflexão que o levaram a estar aberto a influências culturais e musicais muito diversas, o que propiciou uma constante evolução do seu estilo de escrita musical.

Donnino Emanuele Muzio (Zibello, 1821 - Paris, 1890) foi um compositor e maestro italiano, autor de quatro óperas, música de câmara e música para canto e piano. Foi discípulo de Verdi e seu amigo tendo colaborado na preparação das partituras e transcrições das óperas Verdianas e tendo conduzido as estreias de muitas das óperas de Verdi nos Estados Unidos e em muitos outros países.

[EN] Oblong book. 25.6x35.4 cm. 135 pp. Contemporary binding in cloth, with gilt tooled label in the front board with the title of the work and the name 'Amelia P. Leite '.

The very crisp score is etched on metal plate with index of the numbers and respective plate number, with the text incipit of each part of the opera.

Piano reduction of the original score of the opera Macbeth, a masterpiece of lyrical drama, an adaptation of one of Shakespeare"s most famous tragedies, which has premiered on March 1847 in Florence.

A work of exceptional originality and musical grandeur received, however, a less favourable reception among ordinary audiences for lacking of love scenes and taking place in an oppressive environment, yet it became increasingly popular during the 20th century after the exalting performances of soprano Maria Callas as Lady Macbeth.

The piano reductions of the orchestral scores were a very important means of study and dissemination of the masterpieces of music, as they allowed the operas to be played and sung at the homes of many people who would not have the financial or geographical possibility to attend the performances of the operas at the lyric theatres of the most important cities.

Giuseppe Verdi (Roncole, 1813 - Milan, 1901), one of the greatest opera composers of all times, is the author of twenty eight Operas; a Requiem; pieces of sacred music; pieces for solo piano, for singing and piano, and chamber music among which a quartet of strings. During his long career as a composer, he has undergone periods of maturation and reflection that have led him to be open to very diverse cultural and musical influences, which has provided a constant evolution of his musical writing style.

Donnino Emanuele Muzio (Zibello, 1821 - Paris, 1890) was an Italian composer and conductor, author of four operas, chamber music, and music for song and piano. He was a disciple of Verdi and his friend, having collaborated in the preparation of the scores and transcriptions of Verdian operas and having conducted the premieres of many of Verdi"s operas in the United States and many other countries.
