(This one seems to be extra prone to being rerouted into people's junk folders when I deliver the PDF via email, as is Smanie.)

7 pages. Extends to the end of the Prologue.
The first of its kind, and the first in the Accessible Accompaniments series of aria reductions, this is a genuinely playable piano/vocal reduction of "Sein wir wieder gut," the Composer's Aria from Richard Strauss's Ariadne auf Naxos (1912, rev. 1916). Mezzo-sopranos who love this aria no longer need to fear bringing it in for auditions, last-minute performing engagements, or other situations in which the pianist may have to sight-read from the cluttered and difficult-to-decipher vocal score. Pianists may now enjoy playing this aria comfortably, without risking strain/injury or constantly worrying that they may be drowning out the singer.
In this particular reduction, numerous extraneous octave doublings have been removed, allowing the pianist to more easily project the clarity in the orchestral score's texture. One additional key signature change has been provided to clarify the tonal trajectory and reduce the clutter that extra flats create on the page.
