Catalogue Note
Rare. Haberkamp lists only three copies of this pasticcio opera, the named composers of which are Ferrari, Bianchi, Paisiello, Guglielmi, Sarti, Martini and Mozart, and which was first performed in Paris on 15 June 1789. According to Haberkamp, the trio "Mandina amabile", composed some four years before this edition, is the only great opera ensemble of Mozart's published in score during his lifetime.
