Summary of This Score
This exceptional volume offers a rich selection of the greatest opera overtures by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Within these pages, one finds the full diversity of his musical theater: the heroic drive of "Idomeneo," the lively spirit and contrasts of "Die EntfĂŒhrung aus dem Serail," the elegance and comic mechanics of "Le Nozze di Figaro," the dramatic tension of "Don Giovanni," the finesse and irony of "CosĂŹ fan tutte," the fairy-tale color of "Die Zauberflöte," and finally the classical nobility and clarity of "La Clemenza di Tito."
Collected under the title OVERTURES TO THE OPERAS, these overtures provide an ideal overview to explore how Mozart sets the atmosphere of an opera in just a few minutes: striking motifs, dynamics, accents, and narrative sense. The collection is particularly appreciated for developing inner listening, identifying themes, understanding the construction of operatic introductions, and enriching knowledge of the classical repertoire.
