Summary:

During the middle phase of his career, Verdi adopted new compositional procedures to create some of his best-loved and most-performed works. 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.
