Verdict

For Music Students (Analysis)

• Harmonic analysis: Use the score to track the "Puccini half-cadence." Mark every time he uses a minor 7th chord to pivot to a distant key.
• Orchestration project: Compare Puccini’s use of the harp (used as a coloristic, rippling effect) with that of Tchaikovsky or Debussy.
