VERDI, Giuseppe (1813-1901)
Autograph musical quotation from Luisa Miller signed (‘G Verdi’), Naples, 10 December 1849.
One page, 190 x 267mm, ruled recto and verso with eight 5-line staves. 15 bars for voice, Luisa’s opening verse from the duet for Luisa and Rodolfo in Act I, Scene I, beginning ‘T’amo d’amor che esprimere’, titled (‘Eluisa Miller’) and marked ‘All[egro]’ in autograph (recto with toning where framed, edges slightly chipped).
A new type of Verdian opera: an autograph quotation from Luisa Miller, whose composition marked the beginning of Verdi’s ‘second period’, a group of works characterised by stylistic expansion and the influence of French opera.
After a decade of writing opera, Verdi’s Luisa Miller, derived from Schiller’s Kabale und Liebe, sees the composer turning to the intimate arena of domestic tragedy, following the doomed love story of village girl Luisa and noble Rodolfo. The present quotation was written two days before the premiere of Luisa Miller at the San Carlo opera house in Naples; Verdi adds the title ‘Eluisa Miller’ here, using the working title favoured by his librettist, Salvadore Cammarano. Written two years before Rigoletto (1851) – the first of Verdi’s three most famous operas, along with Il trovatore (1853), and La traviata (1853) – Luisa Miller is considered to mark something of a watershed, marking the beginning of Verdi’s ‘second period’.
