About This Item
New York: Simon and Schuster 1946. (4to paper covers) 357pp. Very good plus. Black and white and color illustrations, musical notation. The covers and spine are lightly edgeworn. "...something real lies, I believe, in the very nature of grand oepra itself, and is a form of realism practically impossible to achieve in spoken drama. Spoken drama, because it deals in dialogue and action only, must focus on those comparatively few moments in our lives when something important is happening, usually in the presence of others. Such moments, however dramatic they may be, are likely to be less imtimately real" - from the Preface. Book about Aida, Carmen, Don Giovanni, Faust, Lohengrin & La Traviata. Arranged by Albert Sirmay. Illustrations by Rafaello Busoni. Translated by George Mead. (Music, Music, Music Appreciation, Opera).
