Overture to The Marriage of Figaro

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

For flute and piano

In D major, range C♯4 to D6

A palace on a wedding day where everything happens at once: servants race along the corridors, doors fly open and shut, and nobody stops for breath. Beaumarchais, who wrote the play behind the opera, called it “La folle journée”, the mad day.
