Book SynopsisDie Zauberflöte had its premiere at the Theater auf der Wieden in Vienna on 30th September 1791, less than ten weeks before Mozart''s death. It has proved to be one of the most enduringly popular of all his works and has enchanted generations of opera-goers of all ages. In a fairy-tale allegory imbued with serious philosophical concerns, the opera combines ethereal music with earthy comedy to convey a message of hope for a better world.In this guide, Nicholas Till writes about the background and genesis of the opera, locating it on the cusp of the Enlightenment and the beginnings of German Romanticism. Julian Rushton provides a detailed analysis of the score with numerous musical examples highlighting its many delights, and Hugo Shirley surveys the different and often bizarre permutations that the opera has undergone on stage since some of its very earliest performances through to the present day.The guide contains the complete German libretto with a new English translation by Kenneth Chalmers and incorporates all the dialogue so frequently cut in performances. There are sixteen pages of illustrations, a musical thematic guide, a discography, a bibliography and DVD and website guides. The guide provides a perfect companion to opera-goers wishing to extend their understanding and increase their enjoyment of this much beloved work.

Book SynopsisNo other work by Mozart is so enshrouded in myth as his final composition, the D-minor Requiem. Mozart died before its completion, and the missing sections had to be added by others. The many handwritten copies circulated after his death added to the corruption of the text by contributing errors of their own. Now Peters is publishing a new urtext edition of this staple of the choral repertoire, edited by David Black. The edition relies on Mozart's composition and the traditional completion by Franz Xaver Süssmayr. For the first time, however, it incorporates sources previously unavailable to earlier editions, including the Neue Mozart-Ausgabe.Requiem d-Moll KV 626 (Klavierauszug)Kein anderes Werk Mozarts ist so sehr von Mythen umwoben, wie sein letztes: das Requiem d-Moll. Mozart selbst konnte es nicht mehr vollenden, sodass die fehlenden Partien von fremder Hand ergänzt wurden. Zahlreiche Abschriften, die verbreitet wurden, trugen mit ihren Fehlerquel

Book SynopsisLe nozze di Figarois one of Mozart's best-loved and most enduring works. The first of the three operas he wrote with Lorenzo da Ponte and based on Beaumarchais's play, it established the thirty-year-old Mozart as an opera composer of the very first rank. Its combination of wit, acute psychological observation and sublime music has enthralled audiences ever since its premiere in Prague in 1786. This guide contains articles about the historical background to the opera, as well as musical and dramatic commentaries. Further articles deal with the changes in musical performance brought about in recent times by the period practice movement and with the particular uses Mozart makes of recitatives. There is also a survey of the opera's most important productions. Illustrations, a thematic guide, the full libretto with English translation and reference sections are also included.

Book SynopsisWolfgang Amadeus Mozart''s TheMagic Flute can rightly be called his most famous opera; for many it is even the origin of German opera. After the rather moderate success of the premiere at the end of September 1791 in Vienna, under the direction of Mozart himself, the almost three-hour work quickly rose in reputation and was performed over 100 times by November of the same year. This edition is based on the autograph and the text edition from 1792. Editor Kurt Soldan did not take any modifications or subsequently added content into account.Die Zauberflöte KV 620 (Klavierauszug)Wolfgang Amadeus Mozarts Die Zauberflöte kann mit Recht seine bekannteste Oper genannt werden, für viele ist sie sogar der Ursprung der deutschen Oper. Nach eher mäßigem Erfolg der Uraufführung Ende September 1791 in Wien, unter Leitung Mozarts selbst, stieg das knapp dreistündige Werk schnell im Ansehen und wurde bis November desselben Jahres über

This new Urtext edition of Mozart's Piano Sonata in A major K331 (300i), with the famous final Rondo Alla turca', draws on a recently-discovered autograph source to create a version which has substantial differences particularly in the six variations and the Menuetto to earlier editions. In the preface, the editor, Klaus Burmeister, considers this new edition within the history (dating back to 1784) of printed editions of the sonata, particularly at Edition Peters. The editor also pays particularly attention to the specific use of articulation marks, as Mozart learned to use them from his father Leopold.Neuausgabe nach dem neu aufgefundenen Teilautograph in der Széchényi-Nationalbibliothek in Budapest.

Book SynopsisThe present edition sets out to establish a reliable text that brings out Mozart''s performing style by drawing on all the relevant sources, foremost among which are the earlist printed editions and the composer''s autograph scores. Valuable help in this direction was provided by earlier Urtext editions, especially the one by Max Pauer and Martin Frey, on whose findings the present editors have based their work.Klaviersonaten, Band 1: Nr. 110Wolfgang Amadeus Mozarts 19 Klaviersonaten gehören nicht zu seinen bekanntesten Werken, sind aber nicht minder anspruchsvoll oder ansprechend. Das Schreiben von Sonaten zieht sich durch sein gesamtes Leben, schon als Zehnjähriger komponierte er vier heute nicht mehr existente Sonaten. Das Besondere an ihnen ist, dass sie ein recht hohes spielerisches Niveau fordern, aber dabei, oder gerade deswegen, leicht klingen.In diesem Band sind die ersten zehn Sonaten gesammelt und wurden von Carl Adolf Martienssen und Wilhel

Book SynopsisToday Mozart's exquisite ÊLe Nozze di FigaroÊ delights and moves audiences everywhere long after its 1786 birth into tumultuous times. The original Beaumarchais play raised a firestorm in France then on the brink of revolution with its dangerous commentary on class relations. However Lorenzo Da Ponte carefully omitted anything political from his opera libretto; what remained when joined with Mozart's sublime and penetrating music was a witty yet profound tale of infatuation heartache scheming and tenderness where complex emotions are laid bare and everyone regardless of class is equally vulnerable to the powers of love.ÞFigaro continues the story of ÊThe Barber of SevilleÊ several years later in a single day of madness. Count Almaviva's love Rosina is now his long-suffering countess and the barber Figaro now the count's valet is about to marry Susanna the countess's maid. But the couple-to-be must first deal with two obstacles: a demand that Figaro pay his debt to an older woman or marry her instead and the count's determination to bed Susanna on her wedding night.ÞSuspicions fly plots are hatched narrow escapes abound and connivers receive their due. Love and forgiveness finally bring order to the craziness and a day filled with torment and worry ends in joy.
