In Early Modern times, techniques of assembling, compiling and
arranging pre-existing material were part of the established
working methods in many arts. In the world of 18th-century opera,
such practices ensured that operas could become a commercial
success because the substitution or compilation of arias fitting
the singer's abilities proved the best recipe for fulfilling the
expectations of audiences. Known as "pasticcios" since the
18th-century, these operas have long been considered inferior
patchwork. The volume collects essays that reconsider the
pasticcio, contextualize it, define its preconditions, look at its
material aspects and uncover its aesthetical principles.
