Leoncavallo: Qual fiamma/Stridono lassù from Pagliacci
$5.00 USD
6 pages. Includes recitative and aria.
The first of its kind, and the seventh entry in the Accessible Accompaniments series of aria reductions, this is a genuinely playable and moderately simplified piano/vocal reduction of "Stridono lassù," Nedda's famous aria from Leoncavallo's Pagliacci. 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 chaotic, poorly notated, and technically demanding vocal score. Pianists may now enjoy playing this aria comfortably, without risking strain/injury by trying to play the harp lines that nobody can hear anyway!
In this particular reduction, the harp 16ths in the aria proper have been condensed into 8ths to better reflect what is actually heard in orchestral performances of this aria. Additionally, the functional bass line, absent in other published reductions, has been restored in the final section (pickup to the last page). This provides both added security for the singer and a more true-to-life listening experience for everyone.
