Complete Edition hardcover Opera buffa in four acts-Premièred at the Vienna Hoftheater on 1 May 1786 Wolfang Amadeus Mozartâ??s and Lorenzo Da Ponteâ??s Le nozze di Figaro may be safely regarded as one of the greatest operatic successes of all times. Yet its success was not entirely due to Mozartâ??s music: on the contrary because of the extraordinary demands it placed on the orchestra (especially the woodwinds) the music even posed an obstacle to the workâ??s spread outside the German-speaking countries. At least equally responsible for the operaâ??s success was the librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte who managed to transform a topical and socio-critical stage play into an opera libretto as effective as it isamusing.Many of the sources for Mozartâ??s first opera from the Lorenzo Da Ponte trilogy only became available to scholars again after the â??New Mozart Editionâ?? volume was published. These include the autograph scores of acts 3 and 4 now held at the Biblioteka Jagiello ka in Kraków significant portions of the original sets of parts and acts 2 to 4 of the conductorâ??s copy from the first performance of 1786.These original sources now available again offer compelling solutions to several previously unresolved questions.Edition based on the Urtext of the â??New Mozart Editionâ?? reflecting the latest musicological researchWith findings from original sources now available againDetailed foreword (Ger/Eng)Full score (BA4565-01) Vocal score (BA4565-92) study score format 22.5 x 16.5cm

The first page of the autograph of the Mass K.49 (47d) bears below the author’s name the crossed-out (autograph?) suffix “in Wien” (“in Vienna”). “1768” and “in Wien” have been added by two other unidentified eighteenth-century hands.Mozart’s handwriting and the paper quality appear to verify this information. Moreover Mozart sketched the draft of the Gloria (measures 1 to 18) on a piece of paper the reverse side of which his father had used undoubtedly before that for the fair copy of the piano score of aria no. 11 from Bastien et Bastienne K. 50 (46). In Leopold Mozart’s list of works composed byWolfgang up to 1768 “Eine kleinere Messe a 4 vocibus 2 Violinis &c” (“a small Mass with 4 voices 2 violins etc.”) appears as the penultimate entry; the year 1768 was added by Mozart’s sister. Although the obbligato viola is not mentioned there this comnposition is surely the Mass K.49.- Urtext of the New Mozart Edition- Full score performance material (BA4769) and vocal score (BA4769-90) available for sale.
