Description:
On February 7, 1786, a memorable musical competition took place at a party hosted by Emperor Joseph II in the Orangery of Schönbrunn Palace. The Italian court operaists contrasted Mozart's Schauspieldirektor, which was performed by a German Singspiel ensemble, with Antonio Salieri's opera buffa Prima la musica e poi le parole. This delicious opera satire belongs to the genre of metamelodramma, in which the opera itself becomes the subject of the plot. The people involved in an opera production, such as the poet, composer and prima donna, appear themselves. This results in a humorous self-reflection of the artists in the stage characters. By parodying music from Giuseppe Sarti's Giulio Sabino in the interlude arias of this theater on the theater, Salieri plays with pre-existent music that was well known to the audience at the premiere. Through its musical reflection on musico-dramatic style and the discussion about the priority of word or sound, this masterpiece proves to be an early precursor of Richard Strauss' Capriccio.
The new edition of the score as part of OPERA - Spektrum des europäischen Musiktheaters in Einzeleditionen has brought about numerous changes (libretto text, stage directions, articulation, ornamentation etc.), which have been incorporated into the new engraving of the piano reduction. Furthermore, all the appendix numbers from the score that relate to the quotation complex from Giuseppe Sarti's Giulio Sabino have been incorporated into the piano reduction.
- Urtext edition based on the historical-critical hybrid edition of the score published by Thomas Betzwieser (music edition) and Adrian La Salvia (text edition) as part of OPERA - Spektrum des europäischen Musiktheaters in Einzeleditionen
- Original Italian libretto with sangable German translation
- Extensive bilingual preface (German/English)./English) on the genesis of the work, reception, metamelodrama and intertextuality etc.
- Extensive appendix on the complex of quotations from Giuseppe Sarti's Giulio Sabino
- Practice-oriented, easy-to-play piano reduction
