    0340. LEOPOLD MOZART TO HIS SON, MUNICH Salzb., the last day of Sept. Mon trés cher Fils!1 1777 This morning there was a rehearsal in the theatre, Haydn2 had to write the intermezzos between the acts for Zayre.3As early as 9 o’clock, they were coming in one after another, [5] after 10 o’clock it started, and it was not finished until towards half past 11. Of course, there was always Turkish music4 amongst it, then also a march. Countess von Schönborn5 also came to the rehearsal, driven in a chaise by Count Czernin.6 The music is said to fit the action very well and to be good. Now, although there was nothing but instrumental music, the court clavier had to be brought over, [10] for Haydn played. The previous day, Hafeneder’s music for the end of the university year was performed by night7 in the Noble Pages’ garden8 at the back, where Rosa9 lived. The Prince10 dined at Hellbrunn,11 and the play started after half past 6. Herr von Mayregg12 stood at the door as commissioner, and the 2 valets Bauernfeind and Aigner collected the tickets, the nobility had [15] no tickets, and yet 600 had been given out. We saw the throng from the window, but it was not as great as I had imagined, for almost half the tickets were not used. They say it is to be performed quite frequently, and then I can hear the music if I want. I saw the main stage rehearsal. The play was already finished at half past 8; consequently, the Prince [20] and everyone had to wait half an hour for their coaches.
