Hailed on publication for its extraordinary comprehensibility, the set has become the classic reference work on its subject.  For this new edition the author has made a host of corrections throughout, and updated the text in the light of recent scholarship.  Volume I traces the organic growth and development of the composer's style from 1839 to 1851 - from\n\u003cbr\u003ethe first opera, Oberto, to the seventeenth, Rigoletto.  Budden examines each opera in detail with a full account of its dramatic and historical origins and a brief critical evaluation.  More than 350\n\u003cbr\u003emusical examples point to the significance of the early operas in Verdi's developing style.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44157016244462,"sku":"9780198162612","price":117.82,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780198162612.jpg?v=1706237520","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/operas-of-verdi-volume-1-the","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
