In Mozart´s time it was common practice to earn extra money by arranging newly composed operas or instrumental compositions. Even Mozart himself mentioned in his letters that he must hasten work on the "Harmoniemusik", otherwise someone else might anticipate him!
The present arrangement of the opera "The Abduction from the Seraglio" is based on the original edition in the "Wiener Stadt- und Landesbibliothek", the Vienna City Archives. The author of this arrangement is Johann Wendt (1745-1801), oboist of the "Kaiserlichen Hofmusikkapelle", the Royal Court Orchestra. He made over forty arrangements of opera for "Harmoniemusik".
Any obvious compositional or printing errors have been corrected. Some parts of each score have been carefully transcribed from the original composition, where it was felt that the arrangement missed the spirit of Mozart. We have based our work on the "New Mozart Edition"; any additional articulation suggestions are in accordance with the musical tradition of the Viennese Opera houses. I would like to express my thanks to Bettina Gradinger, Peter Sagaischek and Christoph Pantillon for their helpful cooperation.
