Description

The partnership between composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and poet Lorenzo da Ponte is quite possibly the most inspired in all of musical history; somehow, their operas reach more deeply into the human soul than any before or since. Don Giovanni is one of the great ones: it is an exploration not only of lust and indulgence, but of obsession and class structure. This full orchestral score from Dover lays it all out in front of you. Be aware that, because it is an orchestral score, it won't be of much use to a rehearsal pianist and will probably be too bulky for everyday use by singers. You should also be aware that this is a reprint of an out-of-copyright score originally issued in 1941 by a German publisher, C. F. Peters of Leipzig. That means, among other things, that the alternate language is German. But if you've got an English translation (or if you don't need one), and want to examine Mozart's art closely, you may find this very useful.
