It was intended in part to glorify Freemasonry as a new Emperor, more hostile to the Masons, took his office. After a brief survey of his life and works, this paper shows how Mozart used number symbolism in the opera, and will equip the reader with an understanding of this as practiced by the Freemasons. Further, it will show how Mozart associated the characters of the opera with specific musical tones. It will expose a deeper understanding of the question of meaning in word and text in his opera.

Written for the same three violins and bass line as the Canon, the Gigue is a great palate cleanser after the endless repetitions of the Canon progression. Imitative, but not canonic, it is a joyful little dance with an active bass line that’s fun for everyone. The third violin part does not require notes on the E string, and therefore could be played by violas reading treble clef. Very short (two Baroque halves, each repeated), each half builds to a rhythmic climax, showcasing the brilliance which an upper intermediate group can achieve.

  • The House Composers of the Theater Auf Der Wieden in the Time of Mozart (1789-91)1
    The House Composers of the Theater auf der Wieden in the Time of Mozart (1789-91)1 DAVID J. BUCH Some of the most important theatrical music in Europe was produced at the Theater auf der Wieden in suburban Vienna in the years 1789 to 1801. Beginning with the immensely popular Die zween Anton oder der dumme Gärtner aus dem Gebirge in July 1789, Emanuel Schikaneder produced one successful singspiel after another. The most successful of these were quickly staged in other European venues, both in the original German and in translation.2 Yet, until recently, we have known only a single opera from that period, Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte. Because scholars have not studied this repertory,3 a myth of singularity for Mozart’s singspiel has dominated the secondary literature. But Mozart’s opera was in fact the fourth in a series of fairy-tale singspiels based on texts associated with Christoph Martin Wieland. And the music of Mozart’s singspiel is firmly rooted in a unique style developed at the theater by a group of talented composers who interacted with Mozart, both learning from the master and influencing him in turn. Another myth about this theater has also persisted in modern literature, namely, that the music was of an inferior quality and that the performances were rather crude. While there is one derisive review of a performance at the Theater auf der Wieden by a north German commentator in 1793,4 most contemporary reviews were positive, noting a high standard of musical performance. In his unpublished autobiography, Ignaz von Seyfried recalled performances of operas in the early 1790s by Mozart, Süßmayr, Hoffmeister etc., writing that they were performed with rare skill (ungemein artig).

  • Beethoven's Expanding Orchestral Horizons, 1795-1800 Theodore Albrecht Haydn's Concert in the Kleiner Redoutensaal, December
    Beethoven’s Expanding Orchestral Horizons, 1795-1800 Theodore Albrecht Once Beethoven had tasted his initial success before the Viennese Tonkünstler-Societät’s public (as opposed to salon concerts of the nobility) on March 29-30, 1795, he began planning an Akademie of his own. For a typical potpourri program, he would need a new concerto, a symphony, plus works by other composers, and at least one or two vocal works. Even though he would need to get further use from his Piano Concerto in B-flat, he already had a Concerto in C Major in the works. He was also sketching a Symphony, likewise in C major. He worked on it, periodically, through 1795 and 1796, but it never progressed very far.1 Haydn’s Concert in the Kleiner Redoutensaal, December 18, 1795 Beethoven’s next public appearance playing his Concerto in B-flat was at a concert given by Joseph Haydn, primarily to introduce three of the six Symphonies (recently composed in London) to Viennese audiences on December 18, 1795. The concert took place in the Kleiner Redoutensaal, the smaller of the Imperial Ballrooms, often used for chamber music performances. The identity of the orchestra was not specified,2 but given the location---that is, not in the Burgtheater itself---and Griesinger’s mention that the Kärntnertor Theater’s orchestra under Wranitzky had performed Haydn symphonies,3 it is possible that this ensemble was in fact the orchestra employed. If so, Beethoven would probably again have had a positive experience in making music with Wranitzky. 1Beethoven did not use bound sketchbooks before the so-called “Grasnick 1 Sketchbook,” begun in the middle of 1798.
