Losing is the lugubriousness of Chopin. What’s lost might be a sea shell or a tea cup or the bloody scalp of an Indian; it hardly matters. When you are lost, the heart recedes from exterior currents, too much in sync with itself, its groove vicissitudes. Each encounter, rather than revealing new rhythms, is experienced as a clangorous din, a pounding. The effect of this pounding is to push the heart deeper and deeper into pitiless darkness. The darkness is pitiless because it has no clear ending. The rhythms are pitiless because we do not know how they began. We find pity and it betrays us with a stray fondle. We squirm within ourselves to the sound of the Devil’s opera bufa.

This expanded edition of Adam Fieled's Opera Bufa, issued roughly coterminous with the prefaced edition of the book in 2013, features, as added material, the Laura Goldstein review of the book which appeared in moria poetry in 2008, and the Stacy Blair term paper, written for Prof. Goldstein's English 271 course (How Does This Sound?), as was offered at Loyola U in Chicago in the summer of 2008, and as part of which Fieled lectured to the class on June 19 of that year.
