To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Act 1, Scene 10, Measures 82-89. Per Barbier von Bagdad . Cornelius, 1904, p. 117 133 The special effect is created by the use of chromaticism, the harmonic minor, and the unusual intervals such as the augmented second. (See Figure 40.) Continuing the exotic atmosphere, Cornelius introduces a second theme, again in the bassoons, and then follows an inversion of the first theme. (See Figures 41a and 41b.) The musical exoticism is appropriately reflected here by the fact that it is the hour of pr...ayer. Presented is an amazingly strong contrast between the comical in the first act and the religious opening of the second act. Zwischenakt Lento Figure 40. Per Barbier . Entracte, Act 2, Measures 1-6.
