Abramo Basevi published his study of Verdi’s operas in Florence in 1859, in the middle of the composer’s career. The first thorough, systematic examination of Verdi’s operas, it covered the twenty works produced between 1842 and 1857—from Nabucco and Macbeth to Il trovatore, La traviata, and Aroldo. But while Basevi’s work is still widely cited and discussed—and nowhere more so than in the English-speaking world—no translation of the entire volume has previously been available. The Operas of Giuseppe Verdi fills this gap, at the same time providing an invaluable critical apparatus and commentary on Basevi’s work. As a contemporary of Verdi and a trained musician, erudite scholar, and critic conversant with current and past operatic repertories, Basevi presented pointed discussion of the operas and their historical context, offering today’s readers a unique window into many aspects of operatic culture, and culture in general, in Verdi’s Italy. He wrote with precision on formal aspects, use of melody and orchestration, and other compositional features, which made his study an acknowledged model for the growing field of music criticism. Carefully annotated and with an engaging introduction and detailed glossary by editor Stefano Castelvecchi, this translation illuminates Basevi’s musical and historical references as well as aspects of his language that remain difficult to grasp even for Italian readers. Making Basevi’s important contribution to our understanding of Verdi and his operas available to a broad audience for the first time, The Operas of Giuseppe Verdi will delight scholars and opera enthusiasts alike.

"Verdi's art emerged from a rich array of dramatic and musical practices operative in the Italy of his day. Drawing the reader into his creative world, this study (translated from the French original by the author himself) begins where Verdi began when it came time to set notes to paper: the libretto. Designed for the non-Italophone reader, Steven Huebner's Verdi and the Art of Italian Opera explains key principles of Italian poetry that shaped his music. From there, Huebner outlines the various musical textures available to the composer, including an exploration of the characteristics of recitative and aria. Working outward, subsequent chapters explore the syntax of Verdi's melodic writing and the larger-level forms that he used. A concluding chapter considers ways of conceiving musical unity in his operas. Huebner's long-needed study provides significant insights into Verdi's musico-dramatic strategies, pulling together-and making more easily accessible-principles and insights that are spread widely across the scholarly literature. Verdi remains by far the most performed opera composer on world stages today: singers, vocal coaches, stage directors, and opera lovers more generally will welcome this compact perspective on his art"--

"Il Trovatore, La Traviata, Aida, Otello, Falstaff--such are the operas which mark Giuseppe Verdi as one of the most successful of all operatic composers. He knew personal tragedy and frustration in the course of his long life (1813-1901), some of his early operas failed, and in his later years he found his reputation overshadowed by that of Wagner, yet few musicians have been so universally acclaimed and rewarded as Verdi. Today his talents are taken far more seriously by critics than they were fifty years ago, and his operas are immensely popular. The remarkable development of his small-town organist and choirmaster, who at nearly sixty produced the imposing and ever popular Aïda, at seventy-four the intensely dramatic Otello and at eighty the comic miracle of Falstaff, is now recognized. But Verdi was more than a great musician. He was a singularly lovable and human person, a formidable businessman, an ardent patriot. He knew and corresponded with all the great men of his day--musicians, artists and statesmen. Princes and peasants were his friends. Life on his farm at Sant'Agata was as dear to him as the applause at the world premiere of one of his operas. Carlo Gatti, who has spent a lifetime in the study of the maestro, has told his story in masterly fashion. His biography gives not only a full account of Verdi's activities as composer, but also describes his intimate life and the background of the stirring times in which he lived. It is a full, carefully detailed, heartwarming portrait, an inspiring study of a well-spent life. For many years one of Italy's leading music critics, Carlo Gatti is the author of several other musical biographies, including a life of Catalani. His 'Verdi' may be considered the standard biography. Originally published in 1939 and acclaimed throughout the music world, an English version is overdue. The present translation has been done by Elisabeth Abbott." --Dust jacket.
