TY - JOUR A1 - Werr, Sebastian T1 - "Musica adattata allintelligenza ed alle esigenze del pubblico" : Giuseppe Verdi, Errico Petrella, and their Audience T2 - Verdi Newsletter N2 - As we shall see, the two composers can be understood as opposites in many respects. While some superficial details of Verdis style were imitated by contemporary operatic composers, Verdi should be understood as exceptional, as pursuing a unique path amidst the Italian opera of his time. Rather than imitating either the concision of Verdis operas or their even more striking dramatic intensity, Petrella and most other Italian composers of the period instead downplayed these elements and sought instead to develop melodic appeal above all.
