@@davidscharfe9132 Not just Mozart, but TOP-DRAWER Mozart. Unlike the bland and forgettable L'oca del Cairo, Lo sposo deluso is a sparkling, witty fragment that had the potential to surpass Figaro had it been completed.
@@jasonhurd4379 Perhaps, but surpassing Figaro is a tall order indeed. As an aside, why is it that Mozart ensemble vocal parts fit together in so markedly superior a manner to those of other opera composers?
He was actually ok to begin an opera with a theme fully played by solo trumpets. It's personally game changing a little bit about Mozart's conception of an opera, even a buffa. Very cool!
It's telling that Mozart left this thing unfinished. As a teenager, he'd set whatever libretto he'd come across to beautiful music but not necessarily to great dramatic effect. By 1783, he only settled for perfect. Rejecting L'oca del Cairo and Lo sposo brought him eventually to the much more satisfying libretto for Le nozze di Figaro.
@@johnsimca7093 According to Jan Swafford's "Mozart: A Reign of Love", he wrote both the librettos for L'oca del Cairo (K. 422) and Lo sposo deluso (K. 430).
@@johnsimca7093 Oooh OK. Apparently, either Varesco or Da Ponte was willing to write the libretto for Lo sposo deluso. Mozart never finished the opera. He began writing the libretto to "L'oca del Cairo" personally, and then gave up. He also supposedly started writing a libretto based on "Semiramide", which Rossini famously set years later. Unfortunately, only the overture and a recitative survived, but have either been lost or destroyed. It also doesn't have any catalogue number.
Per Wikipedia: "Although it was once thought that Lorenzo Da Ponte might have been the author of the libretto, scholarship by Alessandra Campana has established that the libretto was written by an unknown Italian poet for Domenico Cimarosa's opera Le donne rivali, which he composed for the Rome carnival season of 1780."
I so desperately wish Mozart had finished this DELIFHTFUL GEM GENIUS of an opera...Love you Mo
Even as unfinished, it’s a treat
I come back to this over and over again. Thank you !
Well, it *is* Mozart, after all.

cheers for posting! I love it. Wish he finished it, sounds like it would have been a riot.
Youthful Beautiful Mozart
1783 or thereabouts, so post Idomoneo and Abduction.
Unbeschreiblich Schön!
Danke Fürs Einstellen -Mille Grazie !
this sounds so very regal
Great opera!

Fantastic introduction. Compliment for trumpeter musicians !!
2:56 to 4:57 is the best part
Of course
This is such a lovely interlude - a glimpse of distant sunlight and kind shadows
One of the most heartbreakingly beautiful melodies Mozart ever wrote
21:19 di sublime gioia musicale e le belle parole di un tempo "Baciamani caricati"
Certo!
Luciano Lombardo Amen !
De teleurgestelde echtgenoot, heel mooi!
MARVELOUS 💝✨🌍🎹 MOZART-👑🎇💫
Grazie
Always the best...Mozart.
Genius!
Ma sono non deluso di composizioni di Mozart! Bravo!
Mozart probabilmente non ha mai sentita la frase "Sono deluso della tua musica" quando la gente hanno parlato con lui

One of two attempts by Mozart to write and compose for his own libretto. You can see where that got him.
It’s libretto is by Varesco who wrote the Idomeneo libretto

In a letter to his father, Mozart states he found an Italian poet willing to work with Mozart on a libretto. It is thought to maybe Da Ponte?
