I've been tormented by the idea of a vast opera which I should write both words and music pro tect about ios toward the end of his in Pittard career. Several years later he wrote again I am resisting the temptation. But in 1058 He added This note to his memoirs. Alas no I could not resist. I've just finished the book and music of late why am the Trojans an opera in five acts. What is to become of this huge work. Bette has probably had a
well-founded premonition that very little would ever come of it in the giant work rivaling Wagners marathons in size required seven hours for performance. Creaky 19th century stage machinery being what it was. The Trojans called for no less than 20 principal singers two choruses ten different SATs hunters on horseback ships moving out of the harbor.

It's not necessary for us to concern ourselves with the musicological debate which surround such a work as this one the subject of its form is discussed. Words of the title notwithstanding the composition is actually a double concerto a concerto for two instruments. It's a curious fact that Mozart too in his letters could literally go on and on describing works from his passion as a powder left no comment on this super composition. The date of its creation is not certain although Mozart scholars generally place it somewhere about
1779. This is about the time Mozart returned to Salzburg from a lengthy tour which included Paris and Mannheim at Salzburg Mozart was in the employ of Toronto must call the radio the Archbishop of Salzburg a man Mozart thoroughly and openly detest it and he lost no opportunity to speak or to write his feelings in composing this info on a concert taught Mozart certainly did not let his feelings get the best of him because it's a happy light hearted joyful piece almost at every turn.
