Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)
Contemporary copyist manuscript, the vocal score of the Overture and Act I of Die Zauberflöte, K.620 , n.p. [?Germany, perhaps Leipzig], 28 May 1794 (or later)]
An attractively presented contemporary manuscript copy of the vocal score of Mozart’s Magic Flute.

Scored for voice and keyboard in brown ink by a single copyist on two- to five-stave systems. 109 pages, 228 x 315mm, contemporary pagination, hand-ruled 10-stave ?Leipzig paper, watermark: shield, above crown, wreath, within crossed swords and palm (cf. Piccard 123217; Gravell SLD.284.1), title page (‘Die Zauberflöte/ Eine Oper/ In Musik gesetzt/ von W. A. Mozart/ den 28 Wonnemonds 1794’) and libretto text throughout in German , a few ?performance markings annotated in crayon, title page with watercolour of Papageno carrying his birdcage set within a border featuring flutes and pan-pipes. Marbled paper wrappers, sewn on three bands.

Provenance:
(1) ‘Albrecht’; label in a 19th-century hand on upper cover.

(2) Bernard Quaritch; acquired February 2011.

(3) Schøyen Collection, MS 5481.

The Magic Flute received its premiere at Vienna on 30 September 1791. The first edition of the vocal score was published by Simrock at Bonn in 1793 and the full score in 1814. The formal layout of the title page of our manuscript could indicate that it was copied from a printed edition, but we have not conclusively identified a source: Papageno appears on the title page of a number of editions of Die Zauberflöte, including the libretto published by Heinsius at Leipzig in 1794. An early edition of the vocal score was published in two volumes by Breitkopfischen Musikhandlung in the same city in the same year.
