The production involving the voice by Carlo Alfredo Piatti (18221901) is as vast as it is neglected. From about sixty songs for voice and piano, to almost twenty adding a cello, to several (though small) choral works.
This edition kickstarts the unearthing of these unfairly forgotten gems, with the Canto Piatti wrote using the Exercise n 7 from Duport's Essai. This most famous etude, which every cellist will know by heart, provides the base over which the text by poet and librettist Felice Romani is shaped into a dramatic musical line.
Also included is a rich preface with a thorough analysis of how Piatti interwove text and music together. The original text of Romani's poem is included as well. The full score is accompanied by a cello part and a solo vocal part, as it was customary at the time.
