Beschreibung
Between 1810 and 1816, Clementi published three volumes in London entitled “A Selection from the Vocal Compositions of Mozart”, one of the first systematic publishing initiatives aimed at disseminating Mozart’s vocal works in England. The transcriptions, adapted to the tastes and performance needs of the British public, demonstrate significant stylistic and didactic mediation, with reworked accompaniments and – particularly notable – the creation of poetic texts in English, entirely independent of the originals, entrusted to the poet David Thomson. The collection once again reflects the dual commercial and pedagogical function of Clementi’s publishing activity and constitutes an important source for the study of Mozart’s reception in early 19th-century London musical culture.
