Der Vogelfänger bin ich ja

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

For alto sax and piano

Written in C major, range D4 to A5

Papageno the bird-catcher comes down the path with a cage on his back and his panpipes in his hands, the merriest man in the land, known to young and old. Emanuel Schikaneder wrote the words of The Magic Flute and sang Papageno himself at the first performance in Vienna in 1791; the piano part is August Horn’s.
