Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart : Overture to The Magic Flute

Overture-In 1786 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed his wonderful opera Le Nozzi di Figaro. In the opera Count Almaviva tries to seduce the fiancée of Figaro his valet. Eventually through four acts full of complicated intrigue he is outwitted. In his music Mozart at times in a humorous way reflects the numerous social and erotic intrigues with both empathy and insight. The brilliant overture is just as vivacious and witty as the opera itself. Mozart delightfully anticipates the passion and playful love that is to come. The skillful transcription for concert band by the Japanese composer Tohru Takahashi certainly does justice to this enchanting music.

On 30th September 1791 a few months before his death the opera ?Die Zauberflote? (The Magic Flute) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was given its first performance. It was remarkable that despite his ill health and his disastrous financial situation he was able to compose a work of such comic genius. Mozart composed the overture in the two days before the premier of the opera and it is on this overture that this transcription is based. To perform the work ?a la Mozart? only the timpani part should be used the additional percussion parts have been added by the arranger and are therefore optional.Mozart 40th SymphonyThe Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart lived atragically short life of thirty-five years. Towards the end of his life in the summer of 1788 he wrote three symphonies in the span of a little over six weeks. His Symphony No.40 in G Minor was one of those great works. This setting of the first movement from that Symphony provides ample demonstration of the composer's grace inventiveness and pervasive sense of humour which can be found throughout his music.

It was common practice in the 18th and 19th centuries to publish Piano scores of works which had originally been intended for a different instrumentation. The Piano arrangements were used both for performances in private circles and for studies. Mozart himself wrote Piano arrangements of some of his works including the overture of 'The Abduction from the Seraglio'. It is published here as a separate edition along with the concluding Capriccio from the four Praeambula KV 395 which in terms of tonality brilliantly completes the overture ending as it does with an imperfect cadence on the dominant.

This simplified arrangement of the overture to Apollo et Hyacinthus (possibly Mozart's first real opera) works very well for young orchestras with lots of juicy fun passages for all the instruments.

Overture to the Opera-Eulenberg's celebrated and highly authoritative miniature score is the definitive reference source for study performance preparation or simply for those with a love of the great orchestral works.
