520    The Italians have a word for the sense of dazzling beauty 
       produced by effortless mastery: sprezzatura. And perhaps 
       no cultural form associated with Italy is as steeped in 
       the love of sprezzatura as opera, a genre the Italians 
       invented. No composer has embodied the ideal of 
       sprezzatura as magnificently as Giuseppe Verdi, the gruff,
       self-described "farmer" from the Po Valley who gave us 28 
       operas and remains to this day the most popular composer 
       in the genre's 400-year-old history. His operas are 
       produced more than those of any other composer, and one 
       source claims that his La Traviata (1853) has been staged 
       live somewhere around the world every evening for the past
       100 years! This series of 32 lectures from one of music's 
       most acclaimed teachers combines biography with a variety 
       of musical excerpts to reveal the treasures of creativity 
       that account for this popularity. It explores in depth and
       detail both the famous and not-so-famous Verdi operas, as 
       well as his one great concert work, the Requiem Mass of 
       1874; his early songs; and his very last composition, a 
       setting of the Stabat Mater. You trace his development 
       from a more or less conventional composer of operas in the
       traditional Italian bel canto (beautifully sung) style to 
       a creator of truly innovative musical dramas in which the 
       power of music to intensify and explore human emotion is 
       exploited to the fullest degree.
