About this arrangement

Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 5 SKU: BT.DHP-1053939-010 Overture. Composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The Great Classics. Transcription. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2005. De Haske Publications #DHP 1053939-010. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-1053939-010). 9x12 inches. English-German-French-Dutch.In 1786 Mozart composed his wonderful opera Le Nozze di Figaro (KV 492). The Italian libretto, based on the play Le mariage de Figaro by Beaumarchais, was written by Lorenzo da Ponte—who also made the libretti of Mozart’s opera’s Don Giovanni and Così fan tutte. In the opera Le Nozze di Figaro, Count Almaviva tries to seduce the fiancée of Figaro, his valet. Eventually, through four acts full of complicated intrigue, he is outwitted. In his music, Mozart—at times in a humorous way—reflects the numerous social and erotic intrigues with both empathy and insight. The brilliant overture is just as vivacious and witty as the opera itself. Mozart delightfullyanticipates the passion and playful love that is to come. The skillful transcription for concert band by Tohru Takahashi certainly does justice to this appealing music. De muziek van Mozarts Così fan tutte werd door tijdgenoten meteen bejubeld. Deze luisterrijke opera is vandaag de dag nog steeds geliefd en wordt wereldwijd veel uitgevoerd. Het is heel goed mogelijk dat de vrij korte ouverture vanCosì fan tutte is bedoeld als sfeerbeschrijving van een koffiehuis waarin heftig gedebatteerd wordt. De herhaalde en stijgende melodieën zouden lachen en discussiëren kunnen suggereren. Deze suggestie wordt nog versterktdoor de dynamische contrasten in het stuk.Così fan tutte ist eine der späten Opern Mozarts und sicherlich auch eine seiner besten. Così fan tutte bedeutet so viel wie so sind sie alle“ und bezieht sich auf die Unzuverlässigkeit des weiblichen Geschlechts in Liebesdingen. Dies war ein ziemlich heikles Thema zu Mozarts Zeiten und es ist daher kaum verwunderlich, dass die Oper als unmoralisch galt, dennoch von Beginn an sehr beliebt war. Wil van der Beek setzte die eher kurze, dynamisch kontrastive Ouvertüre für Blasorchester um.
