Pantomima rinata
«A valuable reconstruction restores one of the most curious and unusual incomplete scores in Mozart’s catalogue. Composed for the Carnival of 1783, Musik zu einer Faschingspantomime is a hilarious masquerade, heavily influenced by the tradition of commedia dell’arte, in which Mozart put his genius at work not only as a composer, but also as a dramatist and even cast himself as Harlequin in the ‘Compagnie mascarade’, created for the occasion.»
