Commendatore Scene from Don Giovanni by Mozart, transcribed for piano by Georges Bizet
Mozart Piano Works • Mozart - Piano Works
“Don Giovanni” is a two-act opera composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Lorenzo Da Ponte crafted the Italian libretto. The opera is based on a legendary fictional character called “Don Juan,” who is a seducer and libertine. Tirso de Molina, a Spanish poet, and dramatist of the Baroque era, created this famous personality.
“Don Giovanni” was commissioned right after Mozart's highly successful trip to Prague in 1787. Da Ponte based the libretto on Giovanni Bertati’s version for a former opera titled “Don Giovanni Tenorio.” He was also highly influenced by Bertati’s idea of opening the Opera with the assassination of the Commendatore.
