Description
Donizetti's Anna Bolena premiered at Milano's Teatro Carcano on December 26, 1830, and is considered the composer's first Major success in serious opera, which brought him to the attention of all Europe. in terms of production, in Italy he wasan anomaly, in that he remained actively involved in the evolution of his works and the performances of them, and went on making modifications to those works. Written expressly for the interpretative and vocal talents of great singers like GiudittaPasta and Giovan Battista Rubini, the historically-based "lyrical tragedy" by librettist Felice Romani is a classic of Lombard Romanticism, alongside historical novels like Manzoni's I promessi sposi (The Betrothed), which appeared in 1827, andartists the likes of painter Francesco Hayez, who moved to Milano in 1822. This was noted by Giuseppe Mazzini in 1836.The critical edition Anna Bolena takes its cue from the manuscript (housed in the Ricordi Archives, the libretto for the premiere, printed editions of voice and piano parts from the period, and additional scores handwritten by Donizetti.Besides doing away with cumbersome instrumentation, and uncovering the original articulations and dynamics, instrumentational and even melody-harmony solutions, here we see for the first time all of Donizetti's music, and in particular those sectionscrossed out or replaced either immediately before or after the first performances. There is also a detailed reconstruction of the birth of Anna Bolena , with a description of sources and critical comment.
NR 14035700 consists of 2 hardcover volumes: the first includes historical introduction and Atto 1; the second includes the Atto 2 and critical commentary.
Publishers use a lot of words to describe what they sell, and we know it can be confusing. We've tried to be as clear as possible to make sure you get exactly what you are looking for. Below are descriptions of the terms that we use to describe the various formats that music often comes in.
Choral Score
A score for vocalists that only contains the vocal lines. The instrumental parts are not there for reference. Generally, cheaper than a vocal score and requires multiple copies for purchase.
Facsimile
Reproductions of the original hand-written scores from the composer.
Full Score
For ensemble music, this indicates that the edition contains all parts on a single system (there are not separate parts for each player). In larger ensembles, this is for the conductor.
Hardcover
Hardbound. Generally either linen-covered or half-leather.
Orchestral Parts
Similar to a wind set, this is a collection of parts. In the case of strings, the numbers listed are the number of copies included, though generally these are available individually (often with minimum quantities required).
Paperback
When publishers offer multiple bindings (e.g. hardcover) or study scores, this is the "standard" version. If you're planning to play the music, this is probably what you want.
Performance / Playing Score
A score of the music containing all parts on one system, intended for players to share. There are not separate parts for each player.
Set of Parts
For ensemble music, this indicates that there are separate individual parts for each player.
Solo Part with Piano Reduction
For solo pieces with orchestra, this is a version that contains a piano reduction of the orchestra parts. For piano pieces, two copies are typically needed for performance.
Study Score
A small (think choral size) copy of the complete score meant for studying, and not playing. They make great add-ons when learning concertos and small chamber works.
Vocal Score
A score prepared for vocalists that includes the piano/organ part or a reduction of the instrumental parts.
Wind Set
For orchestral music, this is a collection of wind and percussion parts. The specific quantities of each instrument are notated.
With Audio
In addition to the printed music, the edition contains recordings of the pieces. This may be an included CD, or access to files on the internet.
With / Without Fingering (Markings)
Some publishers prepare two copies - a pure Urtext edition that includes no fingering (or bowing) suggestions and a lightly edited version that includes a minimal number of editorial markings.
Digital Download
Digital, PDF version of the score.
