Description:

In March of 1791, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) composed the concert aria PER QUESTA BELLA MANO, K. 612, shortly before beginning work on THE MAGIC FLUTE. It is known for its double bass part, notorious for the fact that basses were tuned differently than in modern-day practice. Scholarship has suggested the libretto, sung by a bass, was adapted from the 1784 comic opera Le vicende d’amore, written by Giambattista Neri. The vocal and double bass solos were originally performed by Franz Xaver Gerl and Friederich Pischelberger. Instrumentation: 1.2.0.2: 2.0.0.0: Str (4.4.3.3.3 in set): Solo CB in set: Solo B.
