| Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Le nozze di Figaro (Die Hochzeit des Figaro) KV492: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 Instrumentation : Sub-instrumentation : Publisher : |
