$5.00 USD
7 pages. Includes recitative (preview shows first page of aria proper)
The first of its kind, and the second entry in the Accessible Accompaniments series of aria reductions, this is a genuinely playable and slightly simplified piano/vocal reduction of "Je dis que rien ne m'épouvante," Micaela's famous aria from Bizet's Carmen. 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 more-virtuosic-than-it-looks vocal score. Pianists may now enjoy playing this aria comfortably, without risking strain/injury or obscuring the rhythmic cues the singer will need to use to anchor her own part.
In this particular reduction, the left-hand arpeggio figures have been condensed so they cover little more than an octave. This reduces the margin of error the pianist has when moving around while looking at the score and not the hands (as when sightreading). The right hand figures have also been condensed so that the pianist has the option to avoid shifting across 1.5 octaves within each measure, further reducing the possible margin of error.
