Very rare first edition of the full score of "The Magic Flute." No copy of this notable example of early nineteenth-century musical travesty is recorded by RISM in the United States. Essentially a pastiche based on Die Zauberflote, this edition also includes selections from La Clemeza di Tito and Don Giovanni and "was an enormous success, receiving regular performances in Paris for more than 25 years" (Grove Opera, 2: 1073). An unadulterated edition of the score of Mozart's Magic Flute did not appear until that of Simrock in 1814.
