Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

A

1756-1791: Approximately 20 operas (Early: opera buffa: The Pretend Simpleton), and German Singspiel (Bastien and Bastienne)
Mozart’s first masterworks are striking in their parallels with Haydn’s work and in their independence. Smoother than Haydn.
The Abduction from the Seraglio, The Marriage of Figaro. A play that was thought to have brought about the French Revolution. Don Giovanni: A dramma giocoo. Cosi Fan Tutte: Thus, All Women Do: An opera buffa: 2 men engaged to 2 gals. The Magic Flute: a singspiel with spoken dialogue instead of recitative. The solemn mode of the score reflects the relationship between the opera and teaching of Free Masonry. Mozart wove threads of 18th century musical ideas into new designs: vocal opulence of Opera seria: Folk humor of German singspiel, the solo aria, the buffo ensemble.
