During the middle phase of his career, 1849-59, Verdi adopted new
compositional procedures to create some of his best-loved and
most-performed works. Focusing on the operas he composed during
this period, this volume explores Verdi's work from three
interlinked perspectives: studies of the original source material,
cross-disciplinary analyses of musical and textual issues, and the
relationship of performance practice to Verdi's musical and
dramatic conception.
In addition to offering new insights into such staples as "Il
trovatore," "La traviata," and "Un ballo in maschera," "Verdi's
Middle Period" also highlights works which have only recently begun
to re-enter public consciousness, such as "Stiffelio," as well as
lesser-known works such as "Luisa Miller" and "Les Vepres
siciliennes," Comprising major essays by some of the best-known
Verdians of our day, as well as articles from up-and-coming
scholars, this volume has much to offer readers ranging from
musicologists to serious opera buffs.
Contributors are Martin Chusid, Markus Engelhardt, Linda B.
Fairtile, Philip Gossett, Kathleen Kuzmick Hansell, Elizabeth
Hudson, James Hepokoski, Roberta Montemorra Marvin, Carlo Matteo
Mossa, Roger Parker, Harold S. Powers, David Rosen, and Mary Ann
Smart.
