Transcriptions are essentially a way to teach and to introduce people to the great symphonic and opera music. It is also an ancient musical practice which consist of modelling on one's own instrument a music page which was intended for another one (or, more often, other ones), in order to create thus the impression that the page was written since the very beginning for that instrument. This Transcriptions Collection was born from my desire to extend to a greater audience those compositions which, even though they are well known, are seldom presented during live performances. Together with this, it is a music project deploying within the tradition of the great transcriptions by Edwin Lemare and David Briggs. Contents: Allegro con brio (I, Symphony n 25, g minor, K. 183); Adagio (III, Gran Partita, K. 361, Eb major); Allegro Moderato (I, Symphony n 29, A major, K. 201); Symphony n 35, Haffner (D major, K. 385, Complete); The Magic Flute, Ouverture; The Abduction from the Seraglio, Ouverture.
