Rameau and Salieri

Post by operaticxingenue »

Does anyone have a piano/voice score of Rameau's 'Tristes Apprets' and Salieri's 'Ah, Non Lasciarmi'?

The Rameau aria is from the first act of Castor et Pollux and therefore is available from IMSLP on (Adobe) page 12 of

Like all scores I've seen from the old Rameau edition, the lowest two lines in each system are more a piano reduction of the orchestral content than a strict continuo realization (there's too much doubling of the orchetral melodic lines for that), and so can be used with the vocal line(s) as a piano/vocal score. Try it, it works!
