Johann Wolfgang von Goethe u pismu Friedrichu von Schilleru, 1797. Što je savršenije od svake točke u Don Giovanniju? Gdje je uopće glazba tako bogata i individualna, sposobna da karakterizira s toliko sigurnosti i toliko savršeno i s takvom punoćom obilja kao u tome djelu?

  • Migrating Mozart, Or Life As a Substitute Aria in the Eighteenth Century
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Hochschulschriftenserver - Universität Frankfurt am Main Migrating Mozart, or Life as a Substitute Aria in the Eighteenth Century ISABELLE EMERSON Hikers, especially in difficult terrain, spend a lot of time looking down at the trail where, among the frequent sights, are deposits by various animals. These droppings, or scat, are packed with information about the local fauna. But they are also a significant factor in the distribution of flora, as animals and birds eat in one location and eliminate in another—a process of dissemination botanists term seed dispersal. The practice in the eighteenth century, of carrying one’s favorite arias around from opera to opera, strikes me as quite similar to this paradigm in nature: the singer ingests the aria in one location, and emits it in another. The result is significantly similar: the dispersal of the material over the geographical range of the carrier. * There has been a tendency to regard the substitute aria as not very welcome baggage, and to assess this practice and its near relative, the pastiche, as not quite respectable. I suggest that we look at the practice, not as detracting from the merits of its host work, but as a means of distribution of music. In the case of Mozart’s presence in London, this may be of some importance since none of his operas was staged in that city until 1806 (La clemenza di Tito)—fifteen years after his death. By that time, however, quite a bit of his operatic music, and many of his instrumental works, had been heard in London.

  • An Examination of the Role of the Tenor in Mozart's Operas
    HINSON, DANIEL ROSS, D.M.A. Are You Serious? An Examination of the Role of the Tenor in Mozart’s Operas Don Giovanni and Così fan tutte. (2009) Directed by Dr. Carla LeFevre. 59 pp. Two tenor roles in Mozart’s late Italian operas, Don Ottavio in Don Giovanni and Ferrando in Così fan tutte , do not precisely fit the musical or dramatic expectations of either opera seria or opera buffa . Although Don Giovanni and Così fan tutte are considered exemplars of the opera buffa style, Mozart and his librettist, da Ponte, use music and text that resemble the antiquated style of opera seria to characterize these tenors. This dichotomy helps to define Don Giovanni and Così fan tutte as drammi giocosi , a hybrid operatic genre that mixes elements of opera seria and opera buffa , and features interactions between three distinct strata of characters: high ( parti serie ), middle (di mezzo carattere ) and low ( parti buffi ). An examination of the late-eighteenth century decline of opera seria , and with it the gradual disappearance of the castrato from the operatic stage, is contrasted with the rise of opera buffa and the eventual ascendancy of the tenor as romantic protagonist. The connections between opera buffa and the commedia dell’arte tradition are examined with particular attention to the character types in Don Giovanni and Così fan tutte . Analysis of the arias from both tenor roles, especially with regard to musical form, tonality, and versification, confirms Don Ottavio and Ferrando as parti serie , and not pure parody of the opera seria style.
