In celebration of the 350th anniversary of the birth of Mozart in 2006, this is a very interesting collection of 24 intermediate level piano pieces inspired by his music, with themes from The Magic Flute, Don Giovanni, Le nozze di Figaro, Così fan tutte, and other sources. This collection celebrates famous themes by Mozart for which composers such as Frédérich Burgmüller have written variations and fantasies. The style and character of these pieces often reflect the original score, with many having an operatic and orchestral texture.--Clavier
