These ten opera arias are among the composer's most famous and distinctive achievements, here transcribed for intermediate level solo instrument and piano. The book includes a biography of Puccini, notes about the plot of each opera, and the dramatic context of the selected aria. The companion CD features excellent performances, as well as piano accompaniments for practice.

  • February 21, 2007 WRONG KEYS!

    Some (but not all) of the arias are in the wrong keys. These transcriptions are accurate (other than the key issue above), but without the words they are not very exciting for performance. My advice is to try to find transcriptions that punch things up a bit (e.g. "O...

    Mio Babbino Caro" from Viola World--although it is in the wrong key, the addition of chords in the viola line makes it much more interesting) or simply leave these arias to the singers. Too bad Puccini didn't write for solo viola....
