Bizet: L'Arlesienne recommendation

Post by **Carolus** » Tue Feb 06, 2007 9:12 pm

I recommend that the name be changed to "L'Arlesienne" from "L'Arlesienne Suites." A vocal / piano score for the complete incidental music was actually published by Choudens in about 1873, though it's fairly hard to come by. The second suite was arranged by Ernest Guiraud (1837-1892) a few years after Bizet's death and includes a movement (the Minuet) that is actually from Bizet opera Les Pecheurs de Perles that was not used in L'Arlesienne at all.

I'll leave this matter up to you. The original reason why I did that was because I was thinking about Grieg's Peer Gynt... but I don't really have a clue about the history of L'Arlesienne, so I'll leave it up to you to move and edit the page as you wish
