Les Petits Riens: Ballet, K.Anh. 10/K. 299b (complete ballet) [Alf:36-A184402]

LES PETITS RIENS, K.Anh. 10/K. 299b is a ballet in one act and three tableaux by French choreographer Jean-Georges Noverre, set to music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791). It was originally performed as an interlude for Niccolo Piccini's opera LE FINTE GEMELLE. The premiere took place at the Academie Royale de Music in Paris on June 11, 1778. It received only five more performances, and to make matters worse, Noverre forgot to compensate him. The score, for a long time considered lost, was rediscovered in the archives of the Paris Opera in the late 19th century. This Kalmus edition was edited by Victor Wilder as part of the Mozarts Werke series. Instrumentation: 2.2.2.2: 2.2.0.0: Timp: Str (4.4.3.3.3).
