Due to numerous customer requests, Bärenreiter will be successively offering vocal scores to major Mozart operas in hardback editions again. This means you now have the choice: perhaps you prefer a lower-priced and slightly lighter soft-cover edition with excellent lay-flat characteristics or you feel that sturdier hardcover editions of important repertoire works are more likely to survive the rigours of a musician’s life. The vocal score to Mozart’s „La clemenza di Tito“ is available in this hardcover edition as well as in a soft-cover edition (BA 4554-90). This means that you have the choice: perhaps you prefer a lower-priced and slightly lighter soft-cover edition with excellent lay-flat characteristics or you feel that sturdier hardcover editions of important repertoire works are more likely to survive the rigours of a musician’s life. Mozart’s last two operas, „The Magic Flute“ and „La clemenza di Tito“, are not only remarkable for their outstanding quality but also for the astonishingly short period of time Mozart needed to write them: From the first sketches and drafts to the completed scores Mozart put on paper approximately 800 pages of music between April and September of 1791, a six month period.
