Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: The Abduction from the Seraglio: Concert Band: Score &Die Entf hrung aus dem Serail- Wonderful! But aren t there too many notes asked the emperor Joseph II. No all notes are necessary. This is new music replied Mozart. This is a famous anecdote about the premiere of the opera Die Entf hrung aus dem Serail (The Abduction from the Seraglio) which took place on July 16 1782 at the Burgtheater Wien (Vienna). It illustrates Mozart s ambition and self-confidence. Throughout Mozart s lifetime Die Entf hrung aus dem Serail was his most successful work outside of Vienna. It is still a much-performed opera.Tohru Takahashi has made a lively arrangement of the overture in its original key C major. It will sound even better if your band has Turkish percussioninstruments at its disposal. Instrumentation : Publisher : |
