		These are primarily in the greater values attached to the dramatic side, and the greater importance given to the bass and his music.
		Act IV is even better, and consists primarily of an extended duet for Isabelle and Robert (Anderson and Vanzo) which includes the justly famous, and strikingly beautiful "Robert, toi que j'aime".
