On the problem of musical and dramatic forms of the final in the operas ofJ. Verdi (based on the letters of the composer)
Abstract
The conversion of traditional opera structures is an important aspect of Verdi’s reform. This paper deals with Verdi’s statements of his musical-dramatic ideas by example of grand-finale. Finale’s structure was conventionally based on the four-part «la solita forma». Letters of 1880th reveal Verdi’s attitude to grand-finales. A large part of these letters wasn’t translated into Russian earlier
