The first volume contains 784 letters, 150 of which are published for the first time. The majority of the others have been newly transcribed, corrected through comparison with their sources, or with improved dating in the frequent cases of undated autographs. The collection conveys an image of twenty years in the life and career of Giacomo Puccini marked by radical changes. It documents the interlaced relationships with his friends and family, the ambition and difficulties he endured to sustain them, his brave existential choices. On the professional side, it illustrates the final part of his studies and his artistic growth, from Le Villi, to Edgar, to the first undisputed success of Manon Lescaut, to the final consecration of La Bohème. The letters included in this volume are also documents of the creation of Puccini’s peculiar writing qualities. The variety of addressees and of themes is matched, in fact, by a variety of tones and styles. Tender, friendly, confidential tones alternate with formal, professional, deferential, or even soapy accents. The letters mix everyday chronicles, common requests, scholarly quotes, bawdy language, and invectives. A penchant for poetry appears in the recurring rhymes that peep out in his prose, transforming the letters in poems, especially as a reply to other poetical messages. A strong graphic inspiration shines through his habit of using pictures instead of some key words, and through his original use of the space of sheets and postcards. Published by Olschki, Florence

890 lettres (dont plus de 370 sont publiées pour la première fois) nous permettent de suivre la vie de Puccini sur une période de trois ans. Ce sont des années difficiles, au cours desquelles le compositeur subit un grave accident de voiture, la fin de sa relation avec sa maîtresse Corinna et l'échec de Madame Butterfly lors de sa première à la Scala. Après le retrait rapide de la partition de l'opéra raté et l'annulation de la première romaine prévue, la recherche laborieuse de thèmes pour un nouvel opéra a commencé. Le style reste varié et agréable à lire.

Preludio a orchestra 0,00 €

Une lacune a pu être comblée : le Preludio a Orchestra de Puccini – une des toutes premières œuvres conservées du compositeur – est pour la première fois disponible dans sa version complète authentique. Longtemps, on ne connaissait qu’une source fragmentaire avec un passage manquant au milieu de l’œuvre. Mais, il y a quelques années, on découvre aux Archives Puccini à Torre del Lago un manuscrit inconnu jusqu’alors qui a pu être identifié comme partition autographe du Preludio a Orchestra. Et il s’est avéré que l’œuvre est complète. Ainsi, l’« op. 1 » de Puccini, ce témoignage remarquable des débuts du compositeur avec son inventivité formelle, mélodique et harmonique, peut être donné sous sa forme originale pour la première fois.

Les partitions sont disponibles en prêt et en avant-première.

Messa a 4 voci con orchestra (Messa di Gloria) Edizione Nazionale delle Opere di Giacomo Puccini, III/2 à partir de 304,00 €

Puccini composa sa Messa a 4 voci con orchestra (Messa di Gloria) dans les années 1878-1880. La qualité musicale, l’élan et la fraîcheur de cette œuvre de jeunesse amènent le compositeur à citer sa Messe dans ses opéras ultérieurs et lui assurent une popularité toujours grandissante, après sa redécouverte en 1952.

Cette édition critique scientifique de la seule messe de Puccini est le premier tome de l’Edizione Nazionale delle Opere di Giacomo Puccini. L’Edizione est publiée par le centre de recherche international Centro Studi Giacomo Puccini à Lucca depuis 2013.

Suite à la comparaison avec la partition autographe, de nombreuses corrections ont pu être apportées à l’Edizione Nazionale par rapport au texte musical en usage jusqu’alors. Les ajouts d’instruments par Puccini dans le Benedictus et sa nouvelle version de l’air de ténor Gratias agimus du Gloria, datant tous deux de 1893, ont aussi été pris en compte.

Grâce à l'arrangement de J. Linckelmann (Carus 56.001/50), il est possible d'interpréter l'œuvre dans un cadre plus restreint.

As the second volume of the "Edizione Nazionale delle Opere di Giacomo Puccini," a critical new edition of his compositions for orchestra has been published in the series "Musical Works." In addition to the familiar Preludio a orchestra (SC 1), Preludio sinfonico (SC 32), Trio in Fa (SC 52) and Capriccio sinfonico (SC 55), the volume contains a short but unknown Adagetto (SC 51), probably a sketch of a composition from Puccini's student years in Milan. And, for the first time ever, it also includes an orchestral version of the Scherzo in La (SC 34) from 1882, a work which was just recently discovered. The Scherzo, known until now only in a version for string quartet, complements the Trio in Fa, which is scored for the same orchestral forces, to form an independent movement.

The organ is the instrument on which the young Giacomo Puccini began his career as a musician. Through the rediscovery of a considerable number of hand-written pieces, which he composed after 1870 as part of his duties as organist in the churches of Lucca, several primary sources are now available. These give an insight into the beginnings of his musical activities which have only been known about from anecdotes from his first biographers until now.

Puccini’s organ repertoire includes works which were typical for liturgical organ music at that time: sonatas for the main sections of the mass, versets which were substituted for Gregorian chant, marches, which were played after the mass (exceptionally even waltzes), and even a pastorale for Christmas time.

This music was written with the sound of instruments made in Tuscany in mind. These have just one manual, a 8 foot Principale register and a small pedalboard always coupled to the manual. In addition there were several solo stops divided into "bass" and "soprano".Puccini contributed with originality to the renewal of Italian organ practice, which began in his day to discard its operatic style in favor of a style more suited to the liturgy.
