Luisa Miller : melodramma tragico in tre atti / sinfonia musica del Sigr. Mo. Giuseppe Verdi. [ca. 1850]

Annotations on the title page of each act list performances in Italian cities, including Alba, 1882; Alessandria, 1851; Bari, 1877-1878; Bergamo, 1851 and 1885-1886; Brescia, 1887; Verdi's Busseto estate, 1890; Casale Monferrato, 1878; Fabriano, n.d.; Faenza, n.d.; Fano, 1877-1878; Fiume, n.d.; Genoa, 1850 and 1889; Gorizia, 1889; Mantua, 1878 and 1887; Milan, 1881; Padua, 1879-1880; Parma, n.d.; Pistoia, 1890; Reggio, 1851 and 1883; Riva, 1878; Rome, 1885 and n.d.; Rovigo, 1850; San Remo, 1880-1881; Turin, n.d.; Vercelli, 1851-1852; Vicenza, 1888; and Zara, 1852 and n.d. Stamps on title pages and throughout each act indicate that the score was rented through the Leipzig office of Verdi's publisher Ricordi, apparently during a German revival of the opera in the 1920s. Blank pages following each act are stamped 1929. Part of act two and missing fragments of a few other pages have been replaced by later copyists. Metronome markings, cuts, and other performance markings appear throughout the score. The title page of act one is signed by conductor Leopoldo Mugnone.
