Partitura e parti A4+ (24 x 32 cm)
Intermezzo from act 2. Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari, a 20th century Venetian opera composer, drew inspiration from the styles of Mozart and Rossini, adopting the 18th century as a model. His opera "I quattro rusteghi" (The Four Curmudgeons) from 1906, adapted from a play by Goldoni, revolves around the generation gap and the dialectic between the sexes. The intermezzo from the 2nd act, characterized by a barcarole-style melody, is one of the opera's most famous pieces.
