| Summary: | "Bellini is the most complete critical monograph ever published on the musician from Catania. Bellini's life is presented in the historical-social context of his time. The book provides essential information for each opera, including a plot summary and its relationships to literary sources. The operas are explored in depth from the point of view of their dramatic and musical structure and their cultural meaning, demonstrating that Bellini was not only the creator of memorable melodies but, above all, a first-rate dramatist who pursued a coherent theatrical project. The analysis does not follow page by page the unfolding of the action and its musical accompaniment. Instead, after providing an overall key and describing the main stylistic features, the author discusses a limited number of significant scenes and passages more closely"-- Provided by publisher. |
