Nevertheless, the opera was based on Rameau's comédie-ballet \"La Princess de Navarre\", which had been performed just a few months earlier and whose libretto was written by Voltaire, who shortened it for \"Les Fêtes de Ramire\". Rousseau added the overture and new transitions to the work. Although, according to Rousseau, all the changes were reviewed by Rameau at the last minute, he did not have enough time to compose new music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVoltaire himself described his own libretto as ‘wretched' and the few minutes of music by Rousseau have mainly curiosity value, however, the density of outstanding compositions by Rameau, many of which were later incorporated into his other works, makes a performance well worthwhile.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bärenreiter","offers":[{"title":"Vocal Score","offer_id":43259055833167,"sku":"BA8876-90","price":20.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Vocal Score - Digital Download","offer_id":45304112873551,"sku":"BA8876-90D","price":20.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/22d3f1961ebc47541d875fdad42959d5.jpg?v=1781527152","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/zh\/products\/rameau-les-fetes-de-ramire-rct-40-barenreiter","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
