Piano,Vocal,Voice - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1107806 Composed by Giacomo Meyerbeer. Arranged by Nicole Elyse DiPaolo. 19th Century,Classical,Opera,Romantic Period. Score. 6 pages. Nicole Elyse DiPaolo #710432. Published by Nicole Elyse DiPaolo (A0.1107806). The first of its kind, this is a customized Isabelle-only audition cut of En vain j'espere...Idole de ma vie, from Giacomo Meyerbeer's Robert le diable. In the past, singers wishing to audition for this role would have to make a series of awkward cuts to eliminate the gaps and additional page space created by the choral parts when performing this excerpt. The current edition omits those passages and also places a cut in the cabaletta portion, reducing the page count to 6 and creating a cut suitable for a recital or audition environment. All cuts are marked with asterisks in both the voice part and piano reduction. The piano reduction itself has not been simplified or drastically altered (at the commissioner's request), nor have ornaments been added, although the engraving features minor changes from the original edition (eliminating syllabic beaming and re-dividing a few tuplets for easier reading).
