portions of this work in diflerent editionsThere are various readings of some :
tlie present agrees \\'ith tlie Score used in performance at the Italian Opera in
London.
Many incongruous harmonies and progressions throughout the work can only be
the composer's intention, andaccounted for by their being in accordance with stand
;"'"in his score. Bellini attempted to break new ground in The Puritans he stepped
his melodiesout of the ordinary round of chords that bear through "Norma" and
" Sonnambula," but in venturing upon a new element, he could not foil to manifest
his want of solid musicianship.
