Puccini"s only comedy, Gianni Schicchi is a marvel of beauty and structural elegance. Written as the last installment in Il Trittico, it stands well on its own as a one act and never fails to delight audiences. Printed with excellent contrast on premium, heavy, cream-colored paper. Pianists and singers alike will delight in the sturdy spiral binding, which allows the book to lie flat open to any page. Italian text only. Reprinted from Ricordi edition.
