Hailed As Melodious.

"Don Giovanni," according to the Victor Book of the Opera, is "an inexhaustible treasure house of melody." "This great opera began Its career as an opera buffa, but Mozart was so carried away with the dramatic possibilities of the story that his music makes of it something much greater. For the opening and closing scenes he composed some of the most remarkable dramatic music ever written. The in- termediate scenes, treated in a spirit of comedy, are invested with music, charming and gloriously beautiful. "Through his melodies, at first seemingly so attractively naive, Mozart delineates the characters of his drama in a most subtle manner. Where later composers would have needed involved harmonies, polyphonic treatment of themes and elaborate orchestration, Mozart uses his incomparable melodies and with his simple means attains an equally great effect.

'Don Giovanni' is one of the few great operas to be a success from its very first performance, and yet it is said that it bids fair to outlast almost all others. It is at once popular with the opera-going public and beloved and admired by conoisseurs. Such widely varied geniuses to name only a few have testified to its greatness: Beethoven and Rossini, Wagner and Gounod!"
