Thank you all for 500 subscribers! :) This is my 500 subscriber special! I will be away for roughly the next two weeks, so it will be a while until the next video. Huge thanks to Minkyu Kim for transcribing the coda in the performance version, composed by David Trippett. [Act 1] 0:00 - Preludio 2:05 - “Vieni!

Working intermittently on the project, he abandoned a continuous draft in 1852. The surviving music constitutes the entirety of Act 1 (minus its final cadence). It is given in various degrees of full and shorthand notation. The style is a unique mixture of Italianate pastiche and mid-century harmonic innovation.
