Paris has grown more nicer since last time I saw her

Niemetschek’s early Biography of W. A. Mozart states that ‘the job of scribbling out the secci recitativi in Tito was handed over to Franz Suessmayr in the interests of saving much need time’ —he was the copyist-student of Mozart in 1791 (who was describ’d by Constanza Mozart years later as someone who couldn’t even compose his way out of a paper bag...) whose work on the score seems to have been ‘sternly corrected’ in places by Mozart himself - and to think he was given the job of completing the Requiem fragment from Sketches in Jan 1792–but the fact that Mozart himself was only given the scrittura to compose this Opera from start to finish on 22 July 1791 for a plann’d premiere on 6 Sept 1791 meant that extreme measures were taken - with only 45 days at his disposal to have the old ‘wooden’ Libretto of 1734 condens’d from 3 Acts to 2–and to have to compose music ‘blindly’ for a cast that had not yet been hired — in fact the first 3 movements were written for soprano & tenor & tenor & basso (natura voce) before it was told (7 Aug 1791) that the part of Sesto was going to be sung by a castrato — then on the 11th that Annio’s part was also going to be sung by a trouser-roled female soprano voice — so that M. was not appris’d of the identities of the entire cast until 18 days before the premiere - which involv’d a lot of painful re-writing of much of what was already sketch’d out for these two characters by 18 August 1791 ...

Dennis’s facial expressions throughout this scene cracks me up!!!
