Eckes, Jutta J. L'italiano musicale
GERMAN TEXT

Standard and Opera Italian. A language course for musical professionals and enthusiasts

L'italiano musicale is an entertainingly written Italian course (book and CD) for musicians and music lovers. In 16 lessons, the book provides a playful introduction to various aspects of musical life, with opera houses, music academies and musical practice covered in the form of everyday language dialogues, as well as musical terminology, music history and curiosities from the world of opera. 

Beyond the current "musician's Italian", L'italiano musicale conveys the peculiarities of opera language, which often cause headaches for singers and voice students in particular. The step-by-step, easy-to-follow teaching of the material is intended to enable readers, listeners and musicians to work out an Italian text for themselves - whether opera, oratorio, madrigal or mass.
