Do you know that, when Parker was quoting Verdi, he used "not" in caps? I don't have a copy nearby right now, so am curious. Viva-Verdi (talk) 16:45, 14 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your comment. Before my edit, the page contained a paragraph which read "Verdi . . . encourages Piave to work on [the opera's libretto], "but stick closely to Byron".  This was followed by a paragraph which stated that Verdi had the opportunity to re-read Byron's play and, in doing so, came to the realization (which he expressed in a letter to Piave) that the librettist had better 'stick close to Byron'.  This was clearly a mistake, which is why I inserted the word "NOT" between better and stick.  By avoiding the phrase enclosed in inverted commas, I did not believe that I had altered an original quote!  But I am happy if you can present this in a better way!
