Operas by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart for rent in reduced orchestration


Così Fan Tutte $500


Reduction for 1 flute, 1 oboe, 2 clarinets, 1 bassoon, 2 horns, timpani, continuo (recitatives), and strings.

The standard version plus Guglielmo's alternate Act I aria, "Rivolgete a lui lo sguardo" ("Non siate ritrosi" is of course included as well).
Don Giovanni $500


Reduction for 1 flute, 1 oboe, 2 clarinets, 1 bassoon, 2 horns, 1 trumpet, timpani, mandolin, continuo (recitatives), and strings.

The standard version plus the pieces added for the Vienna premiere ("Dalla sua pace la mia dipiende," "Per queste tue manine," and "In quali eccessi, o Numi").

As with all of our reductions, onstage music is included in the pit orchestration. In the Orchestra II music in the Act I finale, 2/4 passages have been rebarred in 3/4 for performance with a single conductor, with the original 2/4 indicated with dashed barlines. See a sample page here.
Don Giovanni (slightly smaller orchestra) $500


Reduction for 1 flute, 1 oboe, 2 clarinets, 1 bassoon, 2 horns, timpani, mandolin, continuo (recitatives), and strings.

Similar to the above, but without the trumpet.

This is essentially Mozart's original instrumentation, except the trombones have been reduced from 3 to 1 (mostly taken over by the horns). The basset horn parts have been transposed for Bb clarinet.
