This acclaimed edition is making available authentic versions of
the works of a key figure in the history of opera.
"Gli equivoci nel sembiante" (1679), Scarlatti's first opera, is
a comedy of mistaken identities and amorous intrigues in the
pastoral mode. It was one of the most popular and widely performed
works of the composer's long career. A small cast and simple scenic
requirements make it an ideal work for performances today.
In preparing the score presented here, Frank A. D'Accone
compared the six extant manuscripts. His introduction sketches the
opera's history and discusses performance practice. A translation
of the libretto is appended.
Donald Jay Grout is Given Foundation Professor of Musicology
Emeritus, Cornell University Frank A. D'Accone is Professor of
Music, University of California, Los Angeles.
