Piano score with music and libretto in German and English, 202 pages including notes explaining the use of music by Bach for opera purposes. This copy is one of 100 numbered copies; signed by the librettist Johannes Fabricius. Paperback, 4to. 'Silvia' is an opera seria created by the Danish author and Bach scholar Johannes Fabricius. He has selected the music from the more than 200 Bach cantatas, and his musical montage skilfully expresses the complex emotions found in each scene of the opera. Nothing has been changed in Bach's music but certain additions have been made. Thus, for example, an alto aria has been transformed into four voices to become a quartet; and a duet has been furnished with another voice to become a terzet, etc. The Danish composer and musicologist Lars Bisgaard has written the recitatives in addition to having made the various musical arrangements. Like pearls on a string, 'Silvia' presents a compilation of some of the composer's most sublime vocal works, many largely unknown to the music public, and what emerges is a new work by Bach expressing all the splendor of his art.
