9x12 inches. Italian.
Between 1921 and 1938 Nino Rota composed twenty-one pieces for voice and piano, five of which he approved for printing. These early works made him known in the music world. The lyrics are of different origin: poems by the Indian Nobel Prize winner Tagore, a sonnet by Petrarch as well as a Tuscan folksong which was at the same time his last vocal chamber music work. Three of the songs contained in this new edition are printed in different keys, as can already be found in Rota's manuscripts.
