Product Description
The pieces that comprise the individual movements of the sonatinas were originally composed as short serenades for a trio of basset horns. Shortly after Mozart's death, the 25 pieces were arranged into five multi-movement Divertimenti. These sonatinas, despite their humble purposes of soothing entertainment and the instruction of advanced intermediate students, bear the unmistakable stamp of their composer. ... Read more

Meeting Mr. Mozart
This selection of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's letters show the same ebullient and warm-hearted spirit that vibrates through his music. It is obvious that these letters were not written for publication. They are as natural as conversation, as intimate as friendship and as warm as love. And they are tremendously fun to read.

One of my favorites concerns a statement that Mozart makes concerning the ease of difficulty in composing opera in German. In a letter dated February, 1783, Mozart writes to his father, "I side with the German. I prefer it even if it costs me more trouble. Every nation has its own opera, why not Germany? Is not German as singable as French and English? Is it not more so than Russian?"

"Even if it costs me more trouble," he writes. Aha! says I. He admitted that it's more trouble to put the German language to music. Gotcha!

To those of us who love his music, Mozart is rendered in these pages, in his own words, just as we expect. I envy the reader who meets him the first time in this book, then approaches his music. It will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Disappointing performance in OK packaging
EMI has issued a number of vital opera performances with attractive packaging including a deeper than usual introduction to an opera, its plot, characters, and reception.In this case, the booklet material is pretty good.The recorded performance, though, is something of a disappointment.Whole swaths of recitative have been pruned away so that the plot makes little sense unless you already know the opera.And the vocal casting is a little less than ideal, with Geraint Jones a somewhat over-aged, boomy Figaro and Fischer-Dieskau at his barkiest as the Count.I'd opt for a better performance (perhaps the Erich Kleiber/Vienna State Opera on Decca) and a better introductory book.

Not the complete opera!
It claims to feature "the complete opera on two CD's," but not quite.The recitatives, though included in the libretto, are missing from the recording--a very different experience from what Mozart and Da Ponte intended. ... Read more
