A Farewell (Version for Soprano, Violoncello and Piano)

This is the second instalment of ASE's series of Carlo Alfredo Piatti’s (1822—1901) production for voice and piano involving the cello. It is called A Farewell, and it is based on the poem of the same name by British poet Samuel Rogers (1763—1855). This edition includes a thorough research on the poem and a complete analysis of the piece, alongside thorough Critical Notes marking the differences between this version and the one without cello that Piatti realised later (published as ASE 0061). The original text of the poem, marked with the few edits Piatti made, is included in the preface. The full score is accompanied by a cello and voice part (ASE 0056) or by the voice part alone (ASE 0061).
