Puccini and the Music Boxes
Listed in DataCite
ABSTRACTThis article reveals the source for two major themes in Madama Butterfly – one associated with Butterfly herself, the other with her patrimony.
Description
The assumption has been that Puccini based these themes on Japanese melodies, but his source was actually a Swiss music box playing Chinese tunes. Specific moments in the opera indicate that Puccini was aware of the titles of these tunes.
The sound of music boxes in Butterfly and Turandot suggests previously unnoticed connections between these operas. The music-box melodies may be traced to Fritz Bovet's transcriptions. Puccini encountered ‘Jasmine Flower’ on these boxes, and in Turandot reaffirmed its status as the token of Chinese music.
