Today, with the shock of the new worn off and the once-fearful dissonance now widely accepted, the score can be more easily appreciated for its extravagant invention of musical ideas and virtuosic use of instrumental sonorities to characterize both persons and actions. Further, in his use of a single germinal chord which pervades the entire score, Strauss anticipated a technique used by later 20th-century composers.\u003cbr\u003eNow a landmark of modern opera, \u003ci\u003eElektra\u003c\/i\u003e is among the best-known of Strauss's works. In this remarkably inexpensive Dover volume, it is reprinted, complete and unabridged, directly from the authoritative F rstner edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486265384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.15h x 9.39w x 0.81d","brand":"Richard Strauss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36637700948124,"sku":"9780486265384","price":28.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_c3eaa14a-72d1-4afd-a599-71ac52826474.jpg?v=1603845468","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/elektra-in-full-score-9780486265384","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
