To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This is Guiseppe Verdi, born in 1813 and still (1888) living and producing important works. His early life was devoted to operas of the common Italian type, full of melodic charm, but much more markedly dramatic in style, and far more conscientiously written, than those of other Italian composers. The orchestra, too, is treated more seriously than in most Italian operas, where, as Wagner once said, it is commonly used " like a mighty guitar. " With Verdi the orches- tra is less a mere accompani...ment of arias, and more an integral portion of the musical means of enhancing the dramatic effect. In short, he has aimed more at the creation of real music- drama, and less at mere sensational effects than have his Italian contem poraries and predeces- sors. This tendency is shown in all his great works, such as H Trovatore, Rigoletto and La Tramata, and still more decidedly in his latest operas, Aida and Otello, written in his later years, and showing decided traces of the in- fluence of Wagner's theories and practice.
