Mozart's opera The Abduction from the Seraglio was no exception and was a huge success. During his lifetime, the work was performed repeatedly in Vienna and throughout German-speaking Europe. It was premiered in July of 1782, just one month before his marriage to Constanze Weber. The overture is bright and cheery, and audiences undoubtedly loved Mozart's use of “exotic” Turkish percussion, which included bass drum, triangle, and cymbals (a definite deparcure from his normal instrumentation!). Because Mozart's original overture leads directly into the opera, an ending was composed for concert performances by Johann Andre, a legendary music publisher who purchased @ quantity of Mozart's manuscripts from his widow in 1799. == te Please note: Our band and orchestra music is naw being calted by an automatic hgh- speed stem.
