Giacomo Puccini: Fanciulla Del West Score

Based on Balasco's "The Girl of the Golden West" staged in New York in 1905, this work shows a widening in Puccini's harmonic vocabulary. The publishers Ricordi supported Puccini right from the start, and this edition is from their popular Opera Full Score Series, which includes works by Bellini, Verdi and Wagner as well.
