Nessun Dorma - violin & piano

This rousing tenor solo from Puccini's opera, Tosca, is beloved across the world, having even been adopted by World Cup soccer crowds! Moraru has given us two versions, the first version being more florid towards the end. with scale runs. leaps and some double stops. The second version retains the quiet tremolo where, in the original, the off-stage chorus sings and. apart from the final tag up the E-string written by Moraru that works well for an ending, can all be played in first position.

As the original aria has many repeated notes, the bow stroke will need to be well articulated and made expressive.
The original is a 'hero's' aria that will require a strong and expressive tone. Pianists will need to resist the urge to indulge in a full-blown fortissimo at the end. Violinists will relish playing this splendid music.
