In these volumes of The Musicians Library the editor has presented in chronological order the most famous arias from operas of every school. Beginning with songs from the earliest Italian productions, a comprehensive view of operatic development is given by well-chosen examples from German, French, and later Italian works, down to contemporary musical drama.
Each song or aria is given in its original key with the original text, and a faithful and singable English translation. Each volume contains an interesting preface by Mr. Krehbiel, with historic, descriptive, and interpretative notes on each song.
Portraits of the most noted composers represented are given in each volume.
Size of each volume, 9-1/2 × 12-1/2 inches.
