It was common practice in the 18th and 19th centuries to publish Piano scores of works which had originally been intended for a different instrumentation. The Piano arrangements were used both for performances in private circles and for studies. Mozart himself wrote Piano arrangements of some of his works including the overture of 'The Abduction from the Seraglio'. It is published here as a separate edition along with the concluding Capriccio from the four Praeambula KV 395 which in terms of tonality brilliantly completes the overture ending as it does with an imperfect cadence on the dominant.

Overture-In 1786 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed his wonderful opera Le Nozzi di Figaro. In the opera Count Almaviva tries to seduce the fiancée of Figaro his valet. Eventually through four acts full of complicated intrigue he is outwitted. In his music Mozart at times in a humorous way reflects the numerous social and erotic intrigues with both empathy and insight. The brilliant overture is just as vivacious and witty as the opera itself. Mozart delightfully anticipates the passion and playful love that is to come. The skillful transcription for concert band by the Japanese composer Tohru Takahashi certainly does justice to this enchanting music.

Written in 1768 when he was just 12 years old Mozarts first opera was a marvel to many but suspect to others (jealous composers) who claimed it was actually written by his mentoring father Leopold. This overture is a wonderful way for todaysstudents to perform and learn about the work of the young genius.
