A Bohemian
oboist, Josef Triebensee (1772-1846), arranged the Don
Giovanni Overture. He worked in Vienna, actually playing in
the first performance of The Magic Flute on September 30,
1791, which Mozart directed only about two months before his
death. Triebensee spent his last thirty years in Prague and,
in addition to very many wind transcriptions, left an
impressive quantity of original music, including a dozen
operas. |
