As the second volume of the "Edizione Nationale delle Opere di Giacomo Puccini," a critical new edition of his compositions for orchestra has been published in the series "Musical Works." In addition to the familiar Preludio a orchestra [SC 1], Preludio sinfonico [SC 32], Trio in Fa [SC 52] and Capriccio sinfonico [SC 55], the volume contains a short but unknown Adagetto [SC 51], probably a sketch of a composition from Puccini's student years in Milan. And, for the first time ever, it also includes an orchestral version of the Scherzo in La [SC 34] from 1882, a work which was just recently discovered. The Scherzo, known until now only in a version for string quartet, complementsthe Trio in Fa, which is scored for the same orchestral forces, to form an independent movement.
