Hi all,

Hope you are all going ok...

O/T: I found, online, a few pages from Puccini's "La Boheme" manuscript score, with some interesting info about his choice of score paper, notational practices, orchestration, etc.

I watched "La Boheme" last night via medici tv and got interested in the piece. (I watched the 1989 San Francisco production starring Luciano Pavarotti, et al. )
Cheers,
Hector.

I'm absolutely a big Puccini fan; thank you very much for that.

I remember, the first time I heard La Bohème, I started crying and thanking God that someone wrote music so beautiful…
