Description:
The Critical Edition – Study Score series offers a selection of scores from the Ricordi critical edition catalogue in a practical study format. Each paperback volume faithfully reproduces the complete musical text of the corresponding hardcover edition, while the historical introduction and critical commentary are available as a downloadable digital supplement. An indispensable resource for performers, scholars, and enthusiasts who wish to explore this repertoire from a musicological perspective, with the convenience of a portable format. Hugely popular from the time of its premier up through the 1880s, I Capuleti e i Montecchi shared the all-too-familiar fate of other such "fortunate" operas: over time, the evolutions of performing tradition introduced significant modifications to the score that often obscured, and sometimes even altered, Bellini’s original intentions. The critical edition, beyond correcting various errors accumulated over the years and restoring the original readings, also recuperates Bellini’s phrasing, dynamic shadings, and numerous (and significant) performance instructions.
