 Music used by the Duke of Cumberland’s band includes excerpts from recent operas arranged for band ensembles of wind and percussion instruments. Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro (1786), Don Giovanni (1787), and Die Zauberflöte (1791) were composed and first performed during the last decade of Mozart’s life, and were first published in vocal score in the 1790s. These examples of clarinet parts from manuscript arrangements made circa 1801–1812 are evidence of the continuing popularity of these operas with musicians and audiences.
