»Too lovely on the ear but far too many notes, dear Mozart!« wrote Kaiser Franz Joseph II to the composer in 1782 after the world premiere of Die Entführung aus dem Serail. But no other opera was performed more often or successfully during Mozart’s lifetime. While composing the work Mozart fell out with his boss in Salzburg, Archbishop Hieronymus von Colleredo, and ended up leaving the town of his birth after numerous conflicts. His hopes of being made court composer in Vienna came to nothing, but he did get married. Proud to have won his wife Konstanze Weber by abducting her, the parallels between what they went through and his new opera were clear. In keeping with the times the composer imitated »Turkish« music for the overture, or what he imagined it might sound like: lively, loud tutti passages trying to sound »exotic« with the use of a big drum, cymbals and triangle, at the beginning and end of the overture.
