Crawford) - Quartetto Variato on Rigoletto for E-flat Clarinet and Piano","description":"\u003cp\u003eGiuseppe Cappelli - \u003cstrong\u003eQuartetto Variato on Rigoletto\u003c\/strong\u003e for E-flat Clarinet and Piano, edited by Elizabeth Crawford. \u003cstrong\u003eQuartetto variato\u003c\/strong\u003e is Giuseppe Cappelli’s operatic fantasy for E-flat clarinet and piano based on Verdi’s quartet from Act III of \u003cem\u003eRigoletto\u003c\/em\u003e. Adapted from Victor Hugo’s \u003cem\u003eLe Roi S’amuse\u003c\/em\u003e, the three-act lyric opera was set to a libretto by Franceso Maria Piave. The first performance of \u003cem\u003eRigoletto\u003c\/em\u003e took place on March 11, 1851, at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuartetto variato\u003c\/strong\u003e begins with music from the orchestral tutti of Act III, Scene 1, \u003cem\u003eLa donna è mobile\u003c\/em\u003e, the opera's most famous aria, sung by the Duke. At measure 11, the E-flat clarinet presents the Duke’s aria, \u003cem\u003eBella figlia dell’amor\u003c\/em\u003e, which, in the opera, occurs at the \u003cem\u003eAndante\u003c\/em\u003e, halfway through No. 12, marked \u003cem\u003eQuartetto\u003c\/em\u003e. Cappelli skillfully assigns the vocal lines of Verdi’s quartet to the E-flat clarinet and inner voices of the piano. A return to the Duke’s \u003cem\u003eLa donna è mobile\u003c\/em\u003e, at the \u003cem\u003eAllegretto\u003c\/em\u003e ends the main part of the work. Cappelli borrows music of the violin solo from Verdi’s introduction to No. 12 before concluding the piece with original music at the \u003cem\u003eAllegretto comodo\u003c\/em\u003e (m. 96). Tempo markings are taken from the original 1914 score (Ricordi, Milan), now published by Dover, and are for reference only. Cappelli’s composition is void of tempo indications.
