I tried to post this note to Rachel Park privately in response to
her request about Harmoniemusik, but failed to make a direct
connection. Rachel, my questions and advice are below.

> Rachel, it is not clear to me what the main thrust of your interest is.
> Is it your intention to speak only of recordings of Mozart operas
> in their Harmonie form? Why are recordings of the operas so important
> to you? The reason for the last question is that almost every
> recording has had substantial changes made to the arrangement for
> recording purposes. So what you have is some 20th century arranger's
> view of what an 18th century arranger did.

> And while you are at it, do not forget the only three Harmoniemusik
> arrangements of opera music that can absolutely be laid at Mozart's
> feet, not the feet of some arrangers. In the second act of Don Giovanni,
> a Harmonie serenades him during his supper. Music of two other
> composer's operas is performed in two separate selections, one from the
> opera "Una Cosa Rara" and the other from "I due litiganti." And then
> Mozart creates an arrangement of "Non so piu" from his own opera Figaro.

> I can give you some help on the historic side of Harmoniemusik, but
> I personally have almost no interest in which recording was done by
> whom.

> Finally, what is it you want to know about basset horn? Please
