Il Trittico, Turandot, and Puccini`s Late Style de Andrew Davis

Il Trittico, Turandot, and Puccini`s Late Style

Autor Andrew Davis
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 sep 2010
Giacomo Puccini is one of the most frequently performed and best loved of all operatic composers. In Il Trittico, Turandot, and Puccini's Late Style, Andrew Davis takes on the subject of Puccini's last two works to better understand how the composer creates meaning through the juxtaposition of the conventional and the unfamiliar--situating Puccini in past operatic traditions and modern European musical theatre. Davis asserts that hearing Puccini’s late works within the context of la solita forma allows listeners to interpret the composer’s expressive strategies. He examines Puccini’s compositional language, with insightful analyses of melody, orchestration, harmony, voice-leading, and rhythm and meter.

Recenzii

In this expertly written study, Davis defines the core quality of Giacomo Puccini's last four operas as a plurality of styles employed strategically toward formal and expressive ends. His conclusion--that Puccini's late style is essentially episodic, relying for its greatest impact on the juxtaposition of a traditional lyric, primarily vocal style (familiar to the audience of Puccini's day) and a more modern, international style--resonates in particular in reference to the organizing schemata of 19th-century Italian opera known as la solita forma. Davis lays out his theories in chapters devoted to each of Puccini's last four works. Absent an extensive knowledge of these operas, readers will want to have at hand a score to locate the many references cited in order to appreciate the full import and elegance of Davis's theories. Potentially contentious questions of composer's intent and audience reception are dealt with in sophisticated and convincing ways, as is the extent to which Puccini's personal life influenced his late style. Conversant in a wide range of disciplines, Davis has contributed an important addition to the field of Puccini studies and 19th-century Italian opera literature. Summing Up: Recommended.
