ISBN: 0486242080 ISBN-13: 9780486242088 Publisher: Dover Publications OUR PRICE: $26.96 Product Type: Paperback Published: March 2009 Annotation: A striking display of atmospheric color brought about by instrumental means, "Salome" was Strauss' first great operatic success, and now ranks among the basic works of 20th-century music-drama. This large-sized edition is nothing if not definitive -- it reprints Strauss' own copy, signed by his publisher and doubtless the one Strauss used on the podium. |

Publisher Description: The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians (1980) offers ample reason why the complete score to Strauss's Salome is worthy of study. "It is virtuoso display of the creation of atmospheric colour by instrumental means." There are, of course, other reasons -- it is enough to say that since opening night (December 9, 1905) it has ranked among the basic works of 20th-century music. |
