Title: well worth the money
Product review: The book offers a thorough biography, a thorough plot synopsis of each opera, and a thorough technical analysis.It is enlightening to read the book while following along with the score of each opera.In his technical analysis, however, he sometimes misses the forest for the trees. He neglects to tell us that the prelude to Manon Lescaut is in the rondo form, the prelude to Madama Butterfly is in the sonatina form, or that the waltz in Il Tabarro is in the rondo form.Also, there is one question which the author leaves unanswered: What is the purpose of the mock funeral in Edgar? If you happen to know the answer to this question, please write back.
