The libretto for this chamber opera buffa for five people was written by the French writer and journalist André Wurmser. It is a light-hearted parody text full of puns and exaggerations. The plot is set around 1900.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMartinů was presumably unable to complete the work in time; in any case, the opera was not premiered until several years after the composer's death, on February 18, 1964, at the National Theater in Mannheim. The Bärenreiter publishing house had produced the performance material (score, vocal score and orchestral parts) for this purpose. The Czechoslovak premiere followed on June 5 of the same year at the National Theater in Brno.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume of the Martinů Complete Edition is based on a careful analysis of the autograph and the composer's extensive correspondence, which led to a number of new insights into the genesis of the work. The original beginning of the opera, which includes the complete prelude, the first scene and part of the second scene, is also published for the first time in the appendix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContents:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbout the Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÚvodem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForeword\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePredmluva\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFacsimiles \/ Faksimile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlexandre bis, H 255\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScène 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScène 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScène 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScène 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScène 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScène 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScène 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScène 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScène 9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScène 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScène 11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppendix \/ Dodatek\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCritical Report\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKritická zpráva\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eList of Alternative Readings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLibretto \/ Libreto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bärenreiter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46113820278972,"sku":"BA10586-01","price":568.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/2823\/8524\/files\/19e29013c0613c5771803ba1c7f3a984.jpg?v=1774549163","url":"https:\/\/www.barenreiter.us\/fr\/products\/martinu-alexandre-bis-h-255-barenreiter","provider":"Barenreiter US","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
