Mozart, Symphony no.32

Post by steltz »

The page for this work:

http://imslp.org/wiki/Symphony_No.32_in ... g_Amadeus)#

includes a tag for "overtures", and the General Information section includes this word as a subtitle, but I don't see it used in the Breitkopf & Härtel edition at all. I think it either comes from a later edition, or is a mistake.

Before I remove the overtures tag, does anyone have any information about it?

Hi Steltz. The Köchel catalogue includes the subtitle "Ouverture", on the basis that it was first published as "Ouverture pour l'Opera la Villanella rapita".

the listing in RISM suggests that this was the case on a MS copy found in Speyer also (" [label on cover:] La Villanella rapita | von | W. A. Mozart. | Partitur [title page:] Ouverture | zu Bianchis Oper: | La Villanella rapita | von | W. A. Mozart. | (Componirt zu Salzbrg den 26ten April 1779.)" See RISM listing 455028738.)

(Don't know if this MS copy was made after or before the B&H edition was published, though. If before, it's slightly better evidence, though not conclusive absent an autograph, it's true.)

Hrm, I said "absent autograph", but there is an autograph score- it's at NYPL- of the 1779 version (the work was later revised)- and according to RISM if I understand the auto. score doesn't say overture/ouverture etc.
