This very fine facsimile reprint of Giacomo Puccini’s autograph score of Tosca follows the facsimile reprint by the same publisher of Giuseppe Verdi’s Otello. Tosca is one of the most significant manuscripts by Puccini conserved in the Archivio Storico di Casa Ricordi. The facsimile faithfully reproduces the manuscript score in its original form in three volumes, each half-bound in leather with gilt impressions on the spine. These volumes are accompanied by a small volume of text comprising two essays and a section of 85 coloured illustrations of the iconography of the opera and other relative material conserved in the Archivio Storico Ricordi – sketches, sets, costumes, photographs, etc. The first essay, by Roger Parker, "Easy reading is damned hard writing" : Puccini at work, studies the manuscript itself while the second, by Mercedes Viale Ferrero, Vedere Tosca, discusses the iconography. The text of the accompanying volume is in English and Italian.
