Mozart: Der Schauspieldirektor K.486 Ouverture
Der Schauspieldirektor (The Impresario), K. 486, is a comic singspiel by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, set to a German libretto by Gottlieb Stephanie, an Austrian Schauspieldirektor.
It is regarded as "a parody on the vanity of singers", who argue over status and pay.
Mozart, who describes it as "comedy with music" wrote it as his entry in a musical competition which was given a private performance hosted on 7 February 1786 by Joseph II at the Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna
This is my arrangement of the overture for symphonic wind dectet and bass.
My Presto marking is crotchet = 160, which is effective on wind instruments.
Alternative Horns in F parts are provided as well as the original parts in C basso
