<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>First inexpensive edition of great operatic masterpiece, reprinted complete and unabridged from rare, limited Fürstner edition (1910) approved by Strauss.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>This superb edition of Richard Strauss's <i>Der Rosenkavalier, </i> one of the greatest masterpieces in the operatic repertoire, is reprinted complete and unabridged from a rare, limited, and numbered edition approved by Strauss and prepared by his publisher, Adolph Fürstner, prior to the opera's premiere in Dresden in 1911.<br>Available for the first time in inexpensive format -- at far less than the cost of any comparable full-score edition -- this volume offers an easy-to-read score, with wide margins, large noteheads, and many other helpful features. Carefully printed and sturdily bound, it will provide a lifetime of pleasurable use to professional and amateur musicians as well as those who delight in following, score in hand, a live or recorded performance.<br><i>Der Rosenkavalier</i> is the most popular operatic work of the Bavarian composer in whose operas, songs, and symphonic poems the aesthetics of the Romantic movement were to reach their ultimate expression. A radiant and bittersweet celebration of love, it was Strauss's most successful collaboration with the illustrious Austrian poet Hugo von Hofmannsthal, and was an immediate sensation.<br>Audiences then, as now, were enthralled by the melodic glories of <i>Der Rosenkavalier</i>'s vocal ensembles, the richness of its orchestration, and the charm and depth of its characters. Throughout, it reveals the composer's bravura post-Romantic style, which was to influence numerous composers and to mesmerize audiences around the world. It remains today one of the most performed and recorded of all operatic works.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>A leading composer of the late Romantic and early modern eras, Richard Strauss (1864-1949) is known for his operas (<i>Der Rosenkavalier</i> and <i>Salome</i>), Lieder, tone poems, and orchestral works.
